Red vs Green Jalapeños - What's the Difference? 

I'm thrilled you made this very informative video! Thank you. Now I know why I don't have any green peppers. And I can tell my husband to stop pestering me to pick the green jalapeños 🙂

my store started carrying reds, love them so much, amazing in salsa, their raw taste is slightly savory with a nice strong sweetness, and a very mellow burn

green are much crunchier. the red are simply sweet and soft. this is a good pepper to eat fresh. i would use other peppers for cooking so that you can enjoy these with the crunch as well as red with the sweet

This is so informative! I wondered why I didn't get anything growing from seeds in a green jalapeno. It all makes sense now. :) I'm now going to leave my peppers on the plants to ripen more. We love the heat in my homemade guacamole and burritos! Thanks for the info! :)

Thank you for making such a clear, thoughtful, and helpful video. It was very interesting!

Helpful info! I used to work at a Tex-Mex restaurant where I had to prepare 25kg of jalapenos daily. My first day on the job after a couple hours hand slicing the peppers 🌶, I had to use the restroom. Legend has it, they could hear my agonized screaming in the next town 🤣! Moral of the story... WEAR GLOVES!😱

Great video! You answered questions we have about our pepper plantz

Thank you so much for this great information. I learned a lot and appreciate your efforts.

Hi Tikki a generous coating of olive oil on you hands will work well when handling hot peppers. It very good for your hands too. I have used it to remove paint and grease from my hands also. I look forward to seeing more of your videos in the future. Cheers

Local grocery store has jalapenos in one bin and the one next to it is jalapeno reds. The reds cost $1 more per pound but they are all green. Even the reds are green. Now I know the difference. Nobody there did. I bought them yesterday and the store clerks were swamped so I didn't get the chance to ask them.

Great summary on green vs red! I'm in southern cal and have several jalapeños on the plants that range from green to red. I'll be harvesting this week and canning 2 to 3 peppers per quart jar of green beans. Spicy green beers are great.... by themselves or as a garnish in a tall Bloody Mary! 😅

The, "Jalapeno (WE LOVE YOU)" made me laugh

thx for the information. i planted some "red banditos" Jalapenos on the balcony and theyre growing very fast.greetings from germany

Love it. Just subscribed 👍 Thanks Mams.💯🍽️🇺🇸

I'm 61 and never knew these things. I think of you every time that I set-up the Kratky Method, I use a can-opener to take the top off of 12 oz. pop/beer can and the small net cups fit perfectly.in the top You are a natural teacher for me. Good luck to you always.

Hey there, just came across this video today to learn more about my delicious jalapeños! I noticed that you have a mystery pepper in this video. Well my dear, I believe that would be a cowhorn hot pepper. Hence the shape. I know this video is a bit old but I just wanted to be informative. 😊 hope this helps.

Very healpfull video for me 😊👍. Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful day!!

Red Jalapeno master race! Excellent video, thank you for sharing.

Now I know why I couldn’t get any pepper seeds to germinate! Thank you Tikki and God Bless 🙏🏻🇺🇸❤️

Absolutely love jalapeños! My first harvest of the season is coming soon but I am going to let mine turn red so not entirely sure how long that takes.

Great video. I love the hot peppers. As obvious as it should be, good info for seed savers. Our peppers are really putting out the peppers now and red is everywhere. Hey, are those fermented peppers overly salty?

good job!

Thank you this video help me out alot

VERY interesting! I thought jalapenos are just green. Didn't know they turn red at all. 🤷 This points out to me how out of touch we have become from nature. And I'm now going to be searching for RED jalapenos because I ❤ the spicy!!!

Your freaking awesome just got some red jalapeños from food town in Texas fist time getting red one's they were a couple cent's more but imma try them out thank you for the info.

Thanks Tikki! Love your shirt! 💙☺️👍

Hi Tikki! I love your videos and your teaching style. Thanks to you I’ve started hydroponic tomato growing! Will you make any more videos about hydroponic tomatoes?

i have had success germinating "green" chilly by first leaving the fruit on a windowsill until they turn red before taking the seeds out

I love chile 🌶 pepper raw or roasted on grill with cheese or slice in half with salt 🧂, goes well with Tacos 🌮 and Hamburgers 🍔

nice work, thank you for sharing

I love your videos!

Thank you so much for the information. I eat green jalapeños, but one of them turned red and I wasn't sure if it was safe to consume. Your video answered my question and more! It was all very relevant and informative. Thank you, again! 🌶

I've heard the same thing several times from different people. Red jalapenos are hotter than green jalapenos. For some reason, and I might be affected by jalapenos differently, I find that red jalapenos are not as hot as the green ones. But, for some strange reason, I find jalapenos are hotter than serrano peppers, and almost everyone else, universally, disagrees with me on that one.

The long skinny red pepper looks like a "Jimmy Nardello".

Very nice video!!!

I tried saving the 'bell pepper seeds'; they turn dark. will dark seeds still grow into plants?

Green peppers can germinat with tea water

Lol.. jalapeños can be extremely hot.. I’ve grown ones in my backyard that were almost inedible the were so hot!!

Very informative!!

We have a plant in a bucket which gave us great Jalapenos. The weather is changing, so do discard the plant, or save it for next year? If saved, do we keep watering it? Thanks...

In order to make Siracha they use 40,000 ton of red jalapenos each year,no wonder there is a shortage.

Red ones in my experience are a bit juicier and make better poppers.

You are so sweet, your video was great thank you for sharing. 😊

Mine are turning red

Have you tried germinating the seeds from green jalapeños using hydrogen peroxide on a paper towel in a zip lock bag? I’m about to try.

It's a bad idea to use seeds from grocery store vegetables. Most are hybrids and you could end up growing a plant derived from any of the parent plants which might have been selected for speed to market or other characteristics and not flavor. Use only purchased hybrid seeds or seeds saved from preferred self grown heirloom non hybrid varieties. This guarantees that you will get what you want and no surprises.

funny thing is I bought a green jalapeno plant two of them but what's come to grow is red jalapenos anyone know why that is?

Most jalepenos from the store now aren't hot at all. Almost like a bell pepper. Maybe they just harvest too early.

The red ones are a bit more nutritious and my fave :)

Did I Enjoy this video ? It depends......LOL

My jalapeños were sweet and not as hot as the green

😁 ✌🖖👌👍😎

also there isnt many recipes on youtube with people using red ones. and they are my favourite and sweeter.

ive tried jalapenos many times and green ones are ok but then one time i had this pizza from dominos which was a Nduja sausage pizza with red jalapenos and omg it was the best ever i ordered one each week until they stopped making it last year :( at my store they had red jalapenos in a jar so i had them with hotdogs and cheese and stuff. what i found was it wasnt the same as the green ones. the red ones taste more of a tomato, vinegar, hot kick but not so hot. green ones dont taste tomato, vinegar. they are more a peppery kick. i cant get Nduja sausage that easy in england so im looking at others like salami and not peperoni as im not that much of a fan of peperoni. its the after taste that gets me, i mean ill have it for sure but salami doesnt have that after taste and as strong and i like that. i hope to make a pizza next weekend when i get paid. just thinking what and how i should do the sauce. i am not a guy to have like loads of ingredients to make something thats gonna cost me over £10 to make a pizza. i can settle for pizza sauce already made and tinned tomatoes and puree and blender.
