You never know with store bought jals. Sometimes they are bred for low heat and other times they are picked way too early for shipping and distribution. When I do get a real hot one it reminds me of what a jal should taste/burn like. One of the reaons I started growing pepper many years ago was so I could get good, hot, ripe jalapenos, although these days I seem to prefer growing fresnos which always seem to outperform my jals

Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.
Holy S#@! Jalapeno

Yeah, sometimes you can get some Jalas that can rip you with heat. Then again sometimes you find some that are eqivalent to bell peppers heatwise. When I find me some really hot ones I buy up a bunch, cut em into strips, and salt dry em. Then when I need to heat up some food, I just crush up a few strips and there it is. I tend to favor the Jala's that have the scars on em, they seem to be hotter.
