Jalapeņos (This Year)
Must be all the rain we've had in Texas, but the freakin' Jalapeņos are huge, over an inch in diameter (on average). Biggest I've ever seen, to my recollection. And, contrary to my assumption that smaller peppers are hotter, these big boys are also big on heat. My wife explained that the longer they grow, they hotter they get (she's half-Brazillian, she snacked on whole Jalapeņos when she was knee-high to a grasshopper).
We roasted some of these, whole on the grill, and they became challenge peppers (IE, Think you can eat this whole thing?) ...
Question: why do roasted peppers get hotter?
