Chefs use THIS simple trick to tell whether a chilli will be spicy or mild before cooking
Home cooks can predict jalapeño heat by observing visual cues. Thin white lines on peppers indicate increased stress and hotter flavor. Smooth, unblemished jalapeños are generally milder and suitable for subtle dishes. Reddening exteriors and white spots suggest a more intense and sweeter pepper. Removing seeds and ribs can adjust heat levels in prepared dishes.
