Where to find jalapenos that are actually hot
- b
- broncosaurus Jan 21, 2007 01:51 PM
These little green guys seem to have been dumbed down in recent years as they've penetrated the US market. Is there a particular national brand or source that retains the unique sharp flavor I remember from by youth?
re: bolivianita
I think you have it backwards. The hotter climate produces hotter peppers. I've noticed jalapenos that I buy from the farmer's markets at the end of the summer vary greatly from one to the other. From the same batch I've had one jalapeno that tasted like a bell pepper and another that could peel the paint of a wall. For consistency and a definite heat factor, I think you might want to move onto another pepper
heat factor is dependent on many factors of growing conditions, including the season. perhaps your tolerance for heat has increased, and it's time for you to step up to another variety?
Some years ago the Texas Aggies developed a mild jalapeño called "TAM Mild Jalapeño." They have recently released or are about to release a newer variety called "TAM Mild Jalapeño II." In addition to being milder, these peppers are resistant to disease and are good producers. So, I'll suggest that most complaints about wimpy jalapeños should be addressed to Texas A&M. Good luck trying to find a consistent, reliable source of good, hot, older varieties.
re: Jim Washburn
Jim Washburn hit the nail on the head here. This is exactly the reason why many jalapeños in the USA are so wimpy.
There are chiles which fight one another, creating very badly flavored prepared dishes. It's not as simple as mixing a few wimpy jalapeños with some hotter-than-the-hinges-of-hell habaneros. The habaneros have the heat, but they also have a strongly floral flavor which battles with the jalapeño flavor. No Mexican cook worth her salt would indiscriminately mix chiles just for more heat.
What you want is the chile serrano, close in flavor to the jalapeño but with a much higher heat quotient than those TAMs. Even here in Mexico, I rarely buy jalapeños as the serrano (commonly called just chile verde) are much more reliably picante.
By the way, the jalapeño with 'the brown lines' is called jalapeño acorchado.
re: cristina
Thanks for the suggestion. Thing is though, I'm thinking of putting some japs on homemade pizza and serranos might not do the job physically (skinnier, crispier, whatever). Seems like they might be worth a shot, however.
re: broncosaurus
Serranos would work just fine! Or you can do what we do here in Mexico: use sliced pickled jalapeños as a garnish after the pizza is baked. I've learned to love it that way. Now I want one!
re: cristina
I saw a you tube of Rick Bayless (chef in Chicago) where he says that he prefers serannos because they are consistent whereas with jalapeños--you never know what you're going to get.
re: lenwood
I'm with Bayless on this. I've had too many no-heat jalapeños. Now I always use serranos instead. I sure hope they don't "dumb-down" the serranos.
I'm sure that certain growing conditions affect the heat of the peppers, but have you considered the possibility that your senses have changed over the years?
It is quite common for people to develop higher tolerances of spicy foods over time and/or the more you eat.
You may have to switch to habaneros!
re: michael23
So Michael and others who suggested switching to other peppers, are you suggesting that other peppers are reliable at all times of the year and that it's just jalapenos that vary? I'm pretty sure that's not true. I've bought serranos and Thai peppers at various times and found they were also bland.
I don't know of any way to tell whether jalapenos are blando or pinquante without buying them and tasting. Anybody have any suggestions? Color, etc.? It's really irritating to come home with a bunch of jalapenos only to cut them open and find they have almost no taste as well as no heat.
re: oakjoan
At the store where I buy chiles they don't mind people asking to taste their stuff, and they oblige.
I always bite a chile before buying, only way to know what I'm getting.
I bet pretty much the same must happen all over, just ask.
And I don't think "switching up" is the way to go, different chiles serve different purposes.
re: oakjoan
Why not buy a couple of habaneros with the bunch of jalapenos? Once you taste the jalapenos, you'll know whether to kick it up a notch. (sorry...) If you need it, chop some habs up, mix with the filling (ie, cream cheese) or just use some along with the chopped jalapenos in your recipe.
I don't know about walking along and munching habaneros... I'd be looking for an ice cream stand somewhere along the path.
As far as just intensifying the jalapeno flavor, there are powders - both plain jalapeno and smoked (chipotle), which is what I tend to use.
re: michael23
No, jalapenos used to be hot when you bought them. Now they arent. I grew a plant this summer, and they're really really hot like the jalapenos of my past. I don't know if they're just planting Tam jalapenos or what, but they should have a fair amount of heat to them- period. The store-bought ones are watery and bland. I'm not against toning down the heat a little, because that distinctive jalapeno flavor is so good I can eat a lot of that. But watery and mild? That's kind of sad.
Hot jalapenos in the US are a very seasonal crop. They need hot temperatures, long daylight hours and dry conditions. That means August and early September. Commercial growers produce them year round, but the heat factor isn't there out of season. Even in season, overwatering can make them wimpy as can cool night temperatures. The plants don't develop the proper deep root systems to produce thick walls, seeds and heat.
What I don't grow, I buy from a Salvadoran at the farmers' market who knows how to grow them. He pulls up the entire plants at the end of the season for drying. I freeze my crop for use in winter. Same for the other varieties of peppers I grow.
When you find peppers that you like, buy a lot and freeze or dry them. That will give you enough to cook with until they come into season again.
However, if all you are looking for is heat, the jalapeno may not be your pepper anyway. Mine were good and hot this year but nothing like my habaneros or serranos.
re: JMF
There will be different colored peppers on the same plant as they ripen. The green ones are the least mature. They get the streaks as they get riper. Then they turn red. The red ones don't have the same heat.
There are different varieties of jalapenos - some hotter than others. I get the old fashioned varieties for my garden, not the newer hybrids, which were developed for those who enjoy the flavor but not so much heat for rellenos or other dishes.
a very general rule of thumb for me is to look for smaller, yet fully-formed, peppers that are NOT heavy for their size; heavy often means a wet environment, which is anti heat. also, if you're not already doing so, leave the membrane in to preserve their heat.
you might try growing them, they're ridiculously easy. they grow well in containers. when in the garden, i never fertilize them, and only water if they become droopy. container gardening will be a little more intensive, but still easy as that sort of thing goes. they do require long warm days; if you're in a northerly clime you might approximate that with a container garden in a microclimate. thin walled peppers (tabascos, thais, habaneros, etc) dry well, thick walled ones (jalapenos, serranos, etc) pickle/can well. they have very few predators; the only critter i've ever found on them was a hornworm that was happily munching on my thai reds (if he can handle that, then more power to him).
re: mark
I agree with you about overwatering and think it's one of the reasons why commercially grown peppers tend to be milder. Automatic irrigation systems don't let them develop properly. My home grown peppers, grown in hot, dry conditions, tend to be hotter when they are thick-walled and heavy for their size.
I disagree about canning peppers unless you want them cooked, which happens when you process the jars in the home canning process.
It's a lot easier to pop them into ziplock bags for freezing, stems, membranes, seeds and all. Treat them just like fresh when you grab them one at time out of your stash. They lose their crispness but if you're cooking with them, that will happen anyway.
if you grow your own this is about as hot as jalapenos get; from burpee seed co.:
i think with peppers it's the harsher the growing conditions the hotter the pepper. (hot and dry weather)
Grow your own and let them ripen on the vine. Growers pick veggies green and then gas them to get them to change color. Jalapeños need to ripen on the vine. the longer they go the hotter and redder they get.
You cut a smokin hot jalapeño open and you see red and lots of seed density.
You can tell the hotter ones by the leathery skin and the tan "stripes" in the dark green. If you cut a really hot one you will see red. sometimes you will see red coming through green skin.
Store bought product does not get to "cook" on the vine and therefore jalapeños don't get a chance to build that heat.
If you want hot jalepenos find heirloom seeds and grow your own. I can eat habaneros from publix straight. My boss gave me some habbies off his bush at home. I made it into a sauce. If you just stuck the tip of a spoon in that sauce it would warm a bowl of chili.
You want hot. grow your own and let them ripen on the vine. Organic or heirloom seeds.
re: cereme
old thread, but not everybody lives in a proper jalapeno climate or has outdoor space to grow crops. i live in an urban 4-th floor walk-up condo, ya know?
re: hotoynoodle
I will say for the record if you want to find hot jalapeños, the best consistently hot ones I have found are La Victoria Hot Nacho Slices.
Yeah they come in a jar, with a light brine (Not real vinegary), many times still quite firm and always very hot.
You can buy them at the grocery store usually in the ethnic food section. If you don't see them ask your grocer.
If you look inside the rings you will many times see red and many seeds, like packing them in. These are what the hottest peppers have.
re: cereme
I don't know about the organic heirloom jalapenos being any hotter. We joined a CSA last summer, and i could pick the heirloom jalapenos and serranos right off the bush and eat them without breaking a sweat, and I have never liked super spicy foods. I just figured it was the climate (we're in New England) or perhaps the soil.
re: Isolda
It's not the climate, it's the breed of pepper.. I've grown my own hot peppers (multiple varieties) here in Boston for years and get some SERIOUSLY hot ones, climate notwithstanding.
But the OP is right, commercial jalapeños have intentionally been bred to be less hot in recent years. You have to go to a good nursery and be sure you're not getting the dumbed-down versions.
re: cereme
Sorry, cereme, but I need to correct some of your information.
Red jalapenos are sweet, not hot. Plus, the longer you leave them on the plant, the more capsaicin they lose.
The trick is to keep them water stressed then start checking them 20 days after flowering. Taste it. . .then keep tasting them for the next 10 days to 2 weeks. Peppers reach a set level of capsaicin and then it begins declining. By the time it's red, it's lost a lot of its heat.
re: Lance82
Lance, red jalapenos are sweet and hot. There's no dimming of the heat, they just pick up another dimension with the ripening. You can watch them to death, but the heat does NOT diminish with ripening.
If I buy a jalapeno I expect heat and I am not getting it, yes we bought them from a grocery store and very dissatisfied. I feel that this is false advertisement, which it is because what they are selling is in no means a jalapeno, it has no heat at all but we are paying $1.75 a pound. This is really ridiculous and needs to stop.

When Connection is the Innovation in Human Services
A journal launched by two Philadelphia social services entrepreneurs is going a long way toward spreading the word about what works and what doesn't.
Six years ago in a column here, I speculated that waves of incoming new public employees would reshape the public workplace and the delivery of services. These new tech-savvy workers come with an expectation of connectivity. They are impatient with the hierarchical lines of authority that characterize much of public-sector service delivery and with the isolation of service agencies by funding streams.
Unbeknownst to me, at that moment two social entrepreneurs, both with careers in Philadelphia but who had only met as Eisenhower Fellows, were wondering why so little of the innovation in the human-services field in their hometown was being shared with others and why the social innovators seemed not to know each other. They saw in the continuing connection of Eisenhower fellows worldwide a model that could benefit social innovation in Philadelphia and beyond.
Like many places, Philadelphia's public and nonprofit agencies were often resistant to change and skeptical that innovation could be brought to meaningful scale. Innovation and competition were often quietly smothered if they threatened the status quo -- "the usual suspects talking the innovation talk but being careful to not let much of it actually happen," as one long-time nonprofit veteran observed. In too many respects, Philadelphia was a city with a thousand rooms but few connecting doors.

Nick Torres and Tine Hanson-Turton believed that one of the solutions to this malaise was to showcase innovations on the home turf, celebrate them among a larger audience and build partnerships that could begin to inject an appreciation and appetite for innovation "into the air." With work and time, they thought, it could energize and link a new generation of social entrepreneurs and support the efforts of like-minded innovators already working within the public sector.
Their strategy was the Philadelphia Social Innovations Journal (PSIJ), launched in the fall of 2009 with an edition containing 22 feature articles, editorials and reports on what works and what doesn't. An open invitation to share, contribute and spread the word resonated immediately. Operating on a shoestring, each quarter PSIJ offers independent reviews and contributed articles showcasing innovation in the social-services sector.
Four years on, PSIJ has 15 investors and funders, including many of the region's foundations and the United Way, as well as related national entities including the Stanford Social Innovation Review, the nonprofit consultancy Bridgespan and the White House Office of Social Innovation. New editions of PSIJ attract growing numbers of participants, many of whom come to meet others in related but separate fields within social services.
This fall's edition broadens PSIJ's perspective by setting the Philadelphia region in a national context in collaboration with innovation researchers from the Harvard Kennedy School's Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation. Together the two partners see a strong opportunity to leverage private nonprofit innovation into widespread scaled application in public agencies.
Long-time social-services practitioners in Philadelphia have welcomed PSIJ's growing momentum. As one who has served in public, nonprofit and for-profit organizations remarked, the publication "has elevated the conversation in Philadelphia and fostered cross-sector collaboration as a convener. Meetings have become places where people feel they need to be if they want to understand cross-overs among government and independent agencies."
The connectivity that characterizes the participation in PSIJ appears to be having multiple payoffs. It has encouraged the social-services community to look beyond its own boundaries for promising approaches to common issues. And in a risk-averse, slow-to-change public sector, it has offered support to those who are trying to innovate and made more permeable the wall between the nonprofit world and government. In short, it's going a long way toward meeting the high expectations of that increasingly young and tech-savvy public workforce.

Senator Ted Cruz's vigorous defense of Israel at a recent conference for persecuted Middle Eastern Christians in Washington, D.C., provoked jeers from a loud minority in the audience, made up largely of Catholics and Orthodox, many of them from the region or of Middle Eastern background. In June, the Presbyterian Church (USA) voted to divest from three firms doing business with Israel to protest Israeli policies towards Palestinians. More politically significant than those events, however, is a shift underway among some evangelicals, who traditionally have been Israel's strongest Christian boosters in America.
The late Rev. Jerry Falwell, a founder of modern conservative religious activism, often boasted that America's Bible Belt was Israel's safety belt. But Falwell's zeal for conservative red meat causes has become passé for much of the current generation of evangelical elites, who eschew the confrontational politics of the old religious right.
Polls show that evangelicals remain strongly pro-Israel and are America's strongest pro-Israel demographic by far, with the possible exception of Jews. But there are few if any pro-Israel evangelical leaders today as outspoken and prominent as Falwell. And an increasing number of evangelicals in parachurch groups and evangelical schools are endorsing pro-Palestinian activism or at least a more neutral stance between Israel and its foes. Often the new evangelical perspective is premised on concern for Palestinian Christians, who number about 50,000, or just over 1 percent of the West Bank and Gaza Palestinian population.
One relatively new voice for evangelicals is the Telos Group, based in Washington, D.C., and winsomely advocating a "pro-Israeli, pro-Palestinian, pro-American, pro-peace movement." Its founder is a U.S.-born Palestinian Christian attorney, and its executive director is Todd Deatherage, who was chief of staff to Senator Tim Hutchinson, the Republican senator from Arkansas, and later worked in the State Department under George W. Bush. Two evangelical bishops, one of whom is Hispanic, serve on the Telos board.
Deatherage belongs to a large orthodox Anglican church outside Washington attended by many prominent conservatives. Part of Telos's mission is to send "influential Americans from across the political and theological spectra on high-touch, multi-narrative pilgrimages to the Holy Land," where they are exposed to sympathetic Palestinians.
"The work of Telos is to contribute to the creation of a new paradigm, one in which Americans get to know real Israelis and Palestinians, respect them as individuals, and take in their stories," Deatherage explained earlier this year. "There are some who believe our pro-Israel, pro-Palestine approach is nothing more than slick marketing, covering a more sinister (and one-sided) agenda," he admitted. "Not only has our methodology been questioned, but so has our funding," he added, obviously referring to grants to Telos by George Soros's Open Society Institute. "And we make no apologies for welcoming financial support from any who will affirm freedom, security, and dignity for Israelis and Palestinians alike."
During the recent Gaza conflict, Deatherage benignly blogged that a "ceasefire is needed immediately." Neither "acts of terrorism nor aggressive military campaigns" can displace the need for "addressing the fundamental issues underlying the years of violence," he noted, as "each side needs friends who will challenge them to do what is best for their own people, and, at the same time, who will encourage visionary leadership which realizes that the future of the two people is interconnected, that neither is going away, that the pain of grieving mothers is always the same, and that freedom and security for one people cannot be found at the expense of the other."
Such agreeable appeals for peace and security for both Palestinians and Israelis from the new-style melodious evangelical activism are different from the denunciations of Israel by harder-line critics on the old religious left, especially the curia of Mainline Protestant agencies, whose constituencies are limited and lack political influence.

For the moment, the Gaza war of 2014 is over. Anyone trying now to figure out who won and who lost should recall the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah. Then, Israelis had a great sense of letdown because they had not "won." They had not destroyed Hezbollah, and the organization loudly claimed a triumph: "Lebanon has been victorious, Palestine has been victorious, Arab nations have been victorious," said Sheikh Nasrallah. An estimated 800,000 Hezbollah supporters gathered in Beirut for a rally celebrating the "divine victory."

Last week, Hamas fired hundreds of rockets and missiles at targets throughout Israel, including the nuclear reactor at Dimona. Two of the three M-75 missiles targeting Dimona missed the mark entirely, but one had to be brought down by Iron Dome, Israel's antimissile shield. The U.N. considers an attack on a nuclear reactor an act of nuclear terrorism, which in this case might have taken a catastrophic toll on Israel's population—as well as the Palestinians.

The creation of a new Palestinian "national unity" government has raised a slew of questions in the United States. What should our policy be toward a government that has the support not only of the Fatah party but of the terrorist group Hamas as well? Should all aid to the Palestinians be suspended?
The world's attention was largely turned to Ukraine last week. To the extent that the Middle East was on the front pages, the focus was the new agreement between the PLO and Hamas, its implications for the "peace process," and John Kerry's comment about Israel as an "apartheid state."
But in Israel a different subject was getting a lot of attention: Iran's nuclear program. April 28 was Holocaust Remembrance Day, and that was the context in which Prime Minister Netanyahu spoke about Iran at the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial.
In his Senate Foreign Relations Committee testimony last week, Secretary of State John Kerry blamed Israel for the breakdown in peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. He argued that an Israeli announcement of 700 new housing units for a neighborhood in Jerusalem were what did in the talks. "Poof, that was sort of the moment," Kerry said. "We find ourselves where we are."
During Anwar Sadat's historic trip to Jerusalem in 1977, he met Ariel Sharon, the Israeli general credited by his countrymen as one of the heroes of the 1973 Arab-Israeli war. Sharon's crossing of the Sinai and his encirclement of the Egyptian Third Army had turned the tables on Sadat's forces, ensuring a victory that had once been uncertain. "I tried to catch you when you were on our side of the canal," Sadat told Sharon. And now, replied Sharon, "you have the chance to catch me as a friend."
Even with al Qaeda making gains across the Middle East and Iran still enriching uranium in its march to a nuclear breakout, John Kerry's attention is focused on the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. He has visited Israel 10 times since becoming secretary of state. The aim of Kerry's feverish shuttle diplomacy is to hammer out a framework agreement between Israelis and Palestinians that will be long on generalities and short on thorny details and, as such, will enable peace talks to move forward.

A woman waits for a consultation at the MSF clinic in the UNMISS compound in Juba, January 2014.
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Juba, 20 February 2014 – At least 150 wounded people have been treated by the international medical humanitarian organisation Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) after a new wave of violence hit the town of Malakal, in Upper Nile state, South Sudan, on February 18.
MSF fears that the escalating levels of violence are threatening the security of the population even in the place where most of the displaced people are currently seeking refuge, the United Nations Mission in the Republic of South Sudan (UNMISS) compound, which hosts over 21,000 people.
Gunshot wounds
Most of the 150 wounded have been treated by MSF together with International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) teams in Malakal. The patients were admitted to the medical facility of the UNMISS. They suffered gunshot wounds from the clashes in town as well as injuries as a result of inter-communal fighting in the camp.
Many of the people in town were obliged to seek refuge in the overcrowded UNMISS compound due to the high insecurity in the area. Some of these displaced people reported to our teams cases of the killing and rape of patients and relatives in the only functional hospital in town. This facility, where MSF had been working until February 17, has also been looted. MSF fears that more violence will have devastating consequences on the population.
High levels of violence
The high levels of violence have disrupted the humanitarian activities launched in Malakal.
Llanos Ortiz, MSF deputy emergency desk manager
Also, in the past two days, more than 55 gunshot wounded patients from fighting in Malakal have been brought for treatment to MSF's facility in Nasir, Upper Nile state, with many more expected to arrive in the coming days.
"The high levels of violence have disrupted the humanitarian activities launched in Malakal to respond to the crisis," says Llanos Ortiz, MSF deputy emergency desk manager. "The reigning insecurity is having a direct impact on the lives of the South Sudanese people and is also an obstacle for them to receive impartial medical humanitarian assistance."
Since the onset of the crisis last December, fighting throughout the country is having serious consequences for the population, stricken not only by violence but also by a pre-existing alarming humanitarian situation.
"There are episodes of violence in several areas of the country but South Sudan also suffers peaks of diseases such as measles and malaria. We are worried about the upcoming rainy season and the risk of outbreaks in a context where medical services have been widely disrupted," warns Ortiz. "This paints a grim picture for a vulnerable population with a scarcity of resources."
MSF has been working in the region that today constitutes the Republic of South Sudan since 1983, and currently runs 16 projects in nine of the country's ten states – Agok, Aweil, Bentiu, Gogrial, Gumuruk, Leer, Maban, Malakal, Nasir, Yambio, Lankien, Yuai and Yida and has set up three additional emergency operations in Juba, Awerial and Malakal.
MSF responds to emergencies, including large-scale displacement, refugee influxes, alarming nutrition situations and peaks of disease such as measles, malaria, acute watery diarrhoea and kala azar, in addition to providing basic and specialist healthcare services. MSF currently has 228 international staff working in its projects alongside 2,917 South Sudanese staff.
