    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

      Jalapenos have a specific flavor and they're prolific bearers of fruit, maybe that's part of it
