Finding the right peppers at local groceries in the US is a challenge. You can find some bland jalapeños and even bland habaneros, and often not much else.
I’ve taken to growing my own peppers (Piri Piri) to go in the Portuguese food I like. I couldn’t find them fresh anywhere. It’s turned into a little hobby, and it is shocking how hot a well cared for jalapeño is.
- jmspring 3y agoIf you want peppers beyond the occasional habenero; jalapenos, fresnos, sorranos, some others may be available, and very local dependent - you will need to grow yourself. Growing enough to meet the volumes for a large jar of peper sauce, etc. may be challenging. My pepper endeavors this year (in Santa Cruz and high sierra) were mixed. Poblanos were nuts. Jalepenos ok. Hot peppers, not so much.
