Default No Heat Jalapenos

Got me!

I'll jes go on record as saying, jalapeno peppers are a crap shoot.
Some are waaaay more hotter than others. I find canned jalapenos to
be VERY hot due to the fact the peppers are cooked in the can along
with all their very hot seeds. Also, home-grown jalapenos can be
painfully hot, as personal experience bears out.

Look fer plain ol' sprmkt produce jalapenos (cuz they're so crappy) or
go to an Asian sprmkt and look for Fresno chiles. Fresh Fresno chiles
look almost exactly like fresh jalapenos, but the Fresnos have a more
"pointy" end, whereas the jalapeno ends are more rounded/blunt.

As per yer request, the Fresnos are much milder. Almost wimpy, by any
comparison.
