Why are my jalapenos not hot?
When jalapeño peppers aren’t hot, another solution may be in the fertilizer you use. Also, fertilizing generously tends to make jalapeño peppers too mild, so hold back on fertilizing. Stressing the pepper plant leads to more capsaicin concentrated in fewer peppers, which equals hotter fruit.
Do jalapenos get less spicy when cooked?
It looks like cooking hot peppers does break down capsaicin (at least at 200°C/~400F). From their data, it appears that green jalapenos lose up to half of their capsaicin when cooked, while habaneros (and red jalapenos) only lose a little.
Does soaking jalapenos in water?

Can jalapenos eliminate you?
Bosland says that chili peppers (or as some call them, chile peppers) can indeed cause death — but most people’s bodies would falter long before they reached that point. “Theoretically, one could eat enough really hot chiles to kill you,” he says. “One would have to eat it all in one sitting,” he says.
