Some Alternatives to Jalapeno Peppers
If you're having trouble finding jalapeno peppers for your favorite dish, for alternative peppers, I suggest the following:
Poblano Peppers - These are larger than jalapenos with less heat, but you'll get the pepper flavor. They average 1,000 - 2,000 Scoville Units, as opposed to the jalapeno's 2,500 - 8,000 Scoville Units.
Serrano Peppers - These are smaller than jalapenos but quite a bit hotter, running between 5,000 - 23,000 Scoville Units.
You can go with green bell peppers for pretty much the same flavor, but at ZERO Scoville Units, the bell pepper won't give you any of the jalapeno heat. I've been suggesting to people that they can always grab some preserved jalapeno peppers from the store. They're great in a pinch!
