Yeah, heard about the paper bag effect. Anyway, since I said I'd report on the taste, I will. The flesh was surely sweeter, and not necessarily what you'd want in Mex recipes. It was just fine in chili, especially since I had an extra green jalapeno in the fridge. But surely the heat in the...

Thanks for the link. Yeah, I figured it had to have something to do with the red bell peppers right next to it. IDK if you saw my updated post, but the jalapeno is actually more of a tomato red than orange. If it alters the taste in much the same way a red bell pepper is sweeter than a green, I...

'Grow up together'? I don't think so. But I did buy them from the same orphanage, separate rooms. hehe Actually, I've seen jalapenos with a hint of orange, not too many, but never like this. It was green yesterday. Could've had a tiny touch of orange, but to totally change color in 16 hours...

Okay, I've never seen this happen, and this not my 1st jalapeno. hehe I like to make chili for football weekends, so for the occasion, yesterday afternoon I went to my local fruit & veg market (the same place I got that 'sweet no-heat' cayenne pepper that led me to this forum last April) and...

It's like the poles have reversed sooner than expected, March = May, April = Feb. What BS. Planted everything early (mid March, and didn't have to take them in until 2 weeks ago. Just put them back out yesterday. I lived in Chicago for 20 years (1983 - 2002) and couldn't keep a yucca cane plant...

Okay, thanks! Was wondering why there seemed to be undue over-emphasis on the cayenne pepper. Perhaps it is over deserved if you eat the more powerful types. :drooling:

DULAC: "2) I don't think it's because the different capsinoids (capsaicin is the more common one) affect our taste buds differently. There is a degree of subjectivity and complexity (with the various capsinoids) that cannot be fully captured in the current method of testing heat. However, it...

Thanks so much for the welcome and reply. :drooling: And that was a great post, your info was good and thorough, but TBH, more than the diff between capsicum and capsaicin, my bigger Qs were whether or not the capsaicin levels of a pepper gram for gram were in direct correlation to that...

http://www.allenhost...cayenne 001.JPG Hi everyone. First post, although I chatted w/a few nice and helpful members earlier right after joining. First I'd like to confirm these are cayennes, almost certain after looking at pics and doing some research. The peps in the pic are on a 10" dinner...
