Best Answer

Jalapeno peppers are significantly weaker than cayenne peppers.

Here is the comparison given in Scoville Heat Units (SHU)

Jalapeno 3,500-8,000

Cayenne 30,00-50,000

The Scoville scale quantifies the concentration of Capsaicin. Capsaicin is the chemical which causes the sensation known as "spicy."

This means that the Cayenne pepper is about 6-8 times hotter than the Jalapeno.

Jalapenos are hotter than Serrano. But then again, now a days, tastes differ from species to species.
