Sugar_Mama asked:


I have a recipe that calls for chopped green chile peppers. I have bought green chili peppers canned before. Buy am I suppose to buy them fresh and chop them up? I don’t think I have ever seen them in the fresh vegetable section of the grocery store. Only jalapenos. Can I use them instead? What’s the difference?

My father-in-law brought us half a shopping bag’s worth of fresh green chile peppers from his garden. What is the best thing to make with so many peppers? Most recipes only require about a half-cup, diced. Any suggestions? Recipes welcome, thanks!!

Where does the heat come from in chile peppers?

bert_bo asked:


I heard that is does not come from the seeds. The seeds are spicy cause when you cut the chiles the oils are released on to them. But where does the heat come from the membrane or the chile itself?
