I mean all vegetables are grown for look over taste these days.

Just eat bell peppers or anaheims or something and leave my jalapenos alone.

I legit don't get the point when there's so many pepper varieties.

It's all food, with maybe one exception, honeycrisp apples, but all sub variants of the honeycrisp are worse! In an effort to appeal to mass market, all food is being purposely made more bland. Then you gotta pay more for "high quality tasty food" it's disgusting. Food science is a mistake, return to grandma cross breeding heirlooms.

serrano gang is accepting applications

Big Cracka creates the problems and sells us the “cure”

:lmayo:

Capitalism has gone too far this time

Big Salsa can take my yard peppers out of my cold dead hands

So that's why my ass can eat them now.

Serranos seem to be on the upswing

the worst thing is that they're still going to be too spicy for white people

Fyi, if you grow your own jalapenos, if you want them to be spicier, basically starve them of water. Literally use the least amount of water necessary to keep it alive and 'healthy' and it should make for good peppers. Source- I googled how to make jalapenos spicier because I thought roasting them made them hotter.... Only makes them milder...

They're gonna reintroduce "heirloom jalapeños" and mark the price up by ×5

So this is why I have been forced to buy like 12 at a time just to make sure I end up with a few hot enough to make Pico de Gallo.

Fuckers.

this is the level have stooped to

Funny you should mention that, I bought some jalapeno cheetos and I noticed they're a lot more mild now.

goddamn 's. If it doesn't make me cry, it ain't spicy.

Those of us interested in jalapenos have known about this for a while, and constantly curse that professor at A&M. The article posted here mentioned it in a two sentence throwaway line, but most of the reason is because the jalapenos grown aren't like monsanto corn: the pepper pollen got out and now it's basically wild and runs rampant when you are growing them.

Then, you know, the contribution of breeders wanting the less spicy version just made things worse. Way worse.

I learned about this at my local farmers market.

If you get your jalapenos from people who are aware of this, they buy the good seeds and grow and sell those. It made a lot of sense once she explained it.

Once in a while though, I don't mind the store bought ones if I dont want as much heat. They do end up tasting like a green pepper though

: "Ummmm.....no one owes you flavor, sweaty! It's porky's right to remove flavor if he wants."

I prefer the poblanos myself. flavorful, smoky, and with enough heat for the average POC like me

My tummy instincts tell me this is what happens when crackers and capitalism run the sciencey science stuff
