Hey guys. Are smaller jalapenos 0-1" hotter then say a 3" pepper?
Never have tried ones smaller than say, about 2". I know the degree of heat varies between individual peppers of the same size, even from the same bush. I've been using the huge jalapenos that HEB sells. They're about 3" long and about 1 1/4" thick. They're warm, but not real hot.
I unintentionally planted some of those TAM mild jalapenos one year. Virtually no heat at all from most of them. About every 10th one though, was extremely spicy.
