Same with jalapeños. They're more rare, but a red jalapeño is delicious, they're a little bit less spicy and more sweet.

    Just had one the other day. They are very good. Exactly what you said. Still have some jalapeño heat, but more like the sweetness of a red bell pepper.

    Apparently a lot of Jalapeños are grown very mild these days. That's much easier for the food processor to deal with. If they want something spicy they can take a mild Jalapeño and add some capcasin. If they want a mild Jalapeño, say for a Jalapeño popper or a mild sauce and it's too spicy, they can't un-spice it. So, because commercial food businesses find it easier to work with mild peppers, it's harder to find normal Jalapeños these days.
