Ever wonder why we tend to be drawn to spicy peppers in the summer when it’s already hot? Tune in to our podcast to hear chef Juan Pablo Chavez answer that question and chat about the different types of chile peppers and how to pickle your own peppers. I haven’t tried it yet myself, but it sounds super easy. Here are some of our new recipes using a variety of chile peppers: Blackened Jalapeño and Avocado Dipping Sauce Watermelon and Strawberry Salad with Chile Vinaigrette Chicken with Grilled Peach and Chipotle Salsa Green Curry Tofu Listen in and then share your favorite chile concoction.

@Trisha Red poblano chiles are typically much hotter than the green unripe ones. Also, every so often you will get a random pepper that is hotter than all the rest!

We have a couple of poblano chili plants and some turned red before we could make chile rellanos. I found out the the red chili is REALLY hotter than the green. Is this normally true or did I get an exceptionally hot chili?
