One exception are Mrs. Renfro's pickled jalapeños, a Tex-Mex staple for decades. They're still quite hot. I wonder if they have special grower relationships?
I've always thought the California and Mexico weak peppers I got had more to do with irrigation practices than the varietal. But maybe it's both!
- tptacek 3y agoYou can make pickled jalapenos as hot as you want them to be, regardless of the heat in the peppers themselves; a pickled jalapeno vendor is exactly the kind of customer that wants low-heat, low-variance jalapenos.
- nonethewiser 3y agoI used to get jalapeños from a certain “farmers market” that were so hot [0]. By far the hottest jalapeños I’ve ever had. Had to be very careful with them. It does make you wonder where they come from. I wanted to give them to people that mock the heat of jalapeños. [0] This was an east coast farmers market and wasnt literally farmers selling their produce. I believe a lot of it was trucked up from Mexico.
