{helpful advice}
How To Gage The Heat Of Jalapeños
A little know-how goes a long way when spice levels come into play. Most of the heat from jalapeños come from the seeds & membrane. Follow these tips to add just the right amount.
The Technique
Mild
Remove the seeds & the membrane.
Moderate
Remove half of the seeds & add the membrane.
Medium
Add all of the seeds & add the membrane.
Hot
Add the entire jalapeño.
