Can jalapeno pepper be substituted for chili pepper?

It depends. Mpost pepperoncini are pickled. If a dish calls for pickled jalapenos, you might be able to get away with it, since both provide tartness and heat. Pepperoncinis are milder than jalapenos, though--they only score 100-500 on the Scoville heat scale, while jalapenos are a bit higher at 3,500-8,000. If you need more heat in the dish, or it calls for fresh jalapeno because you are looking for a special flavor, you might want to consider a different pepper.

How long will jalapeno stay on your hands?

All capsacains are fat-soluble. Grab some vegetable oil, olive oil, margarine, butter, peanut oil or butter, ghee, coconut oil, sesame oil, walnut oil...get it??? If you have housepets, stamp your foot and scare them out of the kitchen; they're ONE THOUSAND times more sensitive to these irritants than you are...SCOOT!!! ...and 'wash' your hands with the oil, then 'wash' the oil off with soap and water. Carefully clean off everything you touched during the 'washup' with warm soapy water. Dry your hands with paper towelling and dispose of towels completely. While you are doing all of this, don't even come NEAR your face, since you can still give yourself a huge problem just having your contaminated hands near your face. Next time you're at your pharmacy, buy some disposable gloves from them; they're about $5 for 100. Cheap insurance for 'next' time.

Life cycle of jalapeno pepper plant?

This answer comes directly from the Chile Pepper Institute at New Mexico State University:

"Sow Chile seeds 8-10 weeks before it is safe to plant in the garden. Avoid starting too early as plants may become root-bound or leggy. Use shallow flats or containers filled with a sterilized soil mix or commercial potting soil. Optimum soil temperature for Chile germination is between 80 and 90 degrees. You may need to supply bottom heat with the aid of a propagation mat. Sew seeds 1/4 of an inch deep into soil. Chile seeds take 2 to 4 weeks, depending upon soil temperature, to germinate. Some varieties, like those in the chinense species, may even take up to 5 weeks to germinate.

Seeds themseves do not require light to germinate, however once the seeds have germinated provideadequate light for seedlings. The light plants receive on a windowsill is often insufficient and may lead to leggy growth where plants are stretching for the sunlight. A bright south facing window that receives sunlight all day is usually sufficient. This will result in a more compact, healthier transplant to set out in the garden. Do not over water, especially when seeds are germinating, this may lead to damping-off, a fungal disease that causes young seedlings to die. Soil should be moist at planting time, but allowed to dry out somewhat on top before re-watering. Drain off water collected at the bottom of the planting tray so that seedlings are not sitting in the water. In order to reduce transplant shock, seedlings should be gradually conditioned to the outdoors for about a week before being set into the garden. Start off with just an hour or two of exposure to the outdoors at first, then increase time slowely until you are leaving them outdoors day and night."

How many jalapenos make one cup?

This is difficult to answer because of the variables involved. First, the size of the pepper. Second, the chop size of the pepper. And lastly, are you removing the veins and the seeds? Let's assume that the peppers are average size and that like most people you are going to remove the veins and seeds. I have found that it takes anywhere from four larger sized to 6 medium sized peppers to make a cup of chopped peppers.

One other factor to consider is what you are using them for. If you are making salsa or picante there is the heat factor. You might vary the amount of peppers according to your taste.

Are jalapenos a vegetable?

This question is every botanists nightmare at a dinner party. The fact of the matter is, to a botanical scientist, the part of the plant that forms after a successfully polinated blossom, is always a fruit. This would include apples and oranges, pumpkins and cucumbers, green beans and pea pods, tomatoes and, yes! jalapeno peppers!

The plant may contain many other parts, edible or not, but none of them are called "vegetable". They are called leaves, roots, stems, tubers, blossoms, seeds, and so on.

The term "vegetable" is a common, or non-scientific word used to describe just about any plant-type food that a kid will not eat; conversely the word "fruit", when used familiarly mainly describes sweet, plump things that grow on trees, shrubs and bushes that are, for the most part, actually fruits!

Soooooooo...a jalapeno pepper is a fruit in the laboratory, and a vegetable at the dinner table - because nobody, including a kid, would eat one.

Does pickling jalapenos make them hotter?

No. Roasting a pepper can make it more flavorful by removing moisture and carmelizing sugars, but the heat of a pepper is determined by its capsaicin level. Capsaicin, and a few others, is the compound in a pepper that makes it hot and it varies from pepper species to pepper species.
