Apparently there's been a Big Ag conspiracy to make Jalapeno peppers less spicy and it's working

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.
Its not so people who can't handle spice can eat more, it's so that companies making industrial quantities of salsa, etc. can get a more consistent spice level but the same jalapeno flavor by using a mild pepper and adding capsaicin as needed
Which isn't to say its good or normal, shit sucks
Then just use bell peppers and add more capsaicin
Bell peppers don't really taste like jalapenos, they lack any of the grassy jalapeno flavor
then use bell peppers and grass
White people do anything to avoid adding spice
Why use bell peppers? Use bells and peppercorns
but then they cant legally tell people it has jalapeno in it, nor do they probably taste the same. Could probably get it pretty close though I admit
Just put one piece in
One piece?
swindled consumers when they realize they finally found the one piece in their adulterated salsa
capsaicin extracts have a hideous chemical flavor, it's better to just use peppers at the level you want
Damn!
Jalapenos have a specific flavor and they're prolific bearers of fruit, maybe that's part of it
