Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: For the best flavor and heat level, use fresh, firm jalapeños that are deep green in color. Avoid peppers that have any blemishes or bruises.
  • Wear gloves when handling peppers: The capsaicin in jalapeños can irritate your skin. Wear gloves to protect your hands when cutting, slicing, or seeding the peppers.
  • Remove the seeds and ribs for a milder flavor: If you prefer a milder flavor, remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeños before cooking. This will reduce the heat level significantly.
  • Cook the peppers thoroughly: Cooking the peppers will help to mellow out the flavor and make them more digestible. Be sure to cook them until they are soft and tender.
  • Use a variety of cooking methods: There are many different ways to cook jalapeños, so experiment to find the methods that you enjoy the most. You can roast them, grill them, fry them, or stuff them. You can also add them to soups, stews, and sauces.
