Red Jalapeno Peppers

I started by smoking these in my pellet smoker, then drying them in my dehydrator and them running them through a grinder to make flakes for seasoning a variety of dishes.

Large ripe red jalapeños. Quick shipping. 10lbs wasnt really enough for what we were doing. So plan accordingly. Meaning its less than you think.

Source Threads

  • Strong preference for red jalapeños due to superior flavor

    100%!! To me, there's no reason, beyond imminent frost, for eating green jalapeños. Red are superior in flavor and the only reason we accept green jalapeños is because of modern agriculture wanting to squeeze more profit out of their harvests and have longer shelf life.

    u/skelli_terpsView thread →

  • Growing jalapeños specifically to harvest them red

    The reason I grow jalapeños is to pull them when they are red. If I wanted green ones, I'd just get them at the store.

    u/Valhalla81View thread →

  • Explaining why red jalapeños are hard to find in winter

    The red ones are ripe peppers. They don't last very long after picking and shipping. During our winter they are coming from Mexico or Central America. It's not profitable to risk shipping them in our winter.

    u/sixminutemileView thread →

  • Clarifying that red jalapeños aren't necessarily hotter; flavor changes

    Red doesn’t always = heat. There’s nothing wrong with your peppers, peppers flavor changes as it ripens. Jalapeños transition from a more sour green to a sweeter rich red. Jalapeño’s aren’t that spicy to begin with, especially when you’re comparing them to habaneros and ghost peppers.

    u/bobert2019View thread →

  • Confirming red jalapeños are ripe green ones with sweeter flavor

    Yes they are the same except when they turn red the flavor is sweeter and they get a bit more hotter chili wise. The reason you don’t find them fully ripened is that it takes longer on the vine before they are able to be sold.
