Fun facts about the jalapeño! It is pronounced: hah lah pain yo. Most people think of the jalapeño as being very hot, but it actually varies from mild to hot depending on how it was grown and how it was prepared. The heat is concentrated in the seeds and the veins, so if you want it on the milder end of its scale, remove those parts.
Jalapeños are sold canned, sliced, and pickled. Canned jalapeños may be milder than fresh because they are usually peeled and the seeds removed. Pickled jalapeños are always hot.
A chipotle (pronounced: chi poat lay) is a jalapeño that has been smoked. The jalapeño rates between 2,500 and 8,000 Scoville units on the heat index.
''Capsicum annuum'' is a domesticated species of the plant genus ''Capsicum'' native to southern North America and northern South America. This species is the most common and extensively cultivated of the five domesticated capsicums.
