Did you know?
The spiciness of chillies - and therefore also of jalapenos - has even won a scientific award: research into human perception of spiciness led to the award of the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2021. The key substance here is capsaicin - the very ingredient that gives chilies their heat.
Capsaicin stimulates certain pain and heat receptors in the body. How intensely we perceive spiciness is measured in Scoville Heat Units (SHU).
For comparison:

• Paprika: 0 SHU
• Jalapenos: approx. 2,500-10,000 SHU
• Tabasco sauce: approx. 1,000-2,500 SHU

Jalapenos are mild to medium-hot chilies. The heat is mainly in the seeds and the light-colored inner skin. Green jalapenos are harvested unripe, which means they retain their firm structure, green color and a fresh, slightly bitter note.
