  They are jalape?os, and they are one of the mildest chilis.

  "Chili" in itself refers to the entire genus of capsicum plants, and
encompasses an enormous variety of them. Just saying "chili" doesn't
really say how hot it is, but often it's something slightly hotter than
jalape?os (which are chilis too).

  Habaneros are the most popular chili which is really, really spicy.
On the hottest end of the scale (only a few other species surpass it).
Not to be confused with the jalape?os: They are almost as opposite as
it can get. (Only the bell pepper would be more opposite, as it has no
capsaicin at all.)

  Not that jalape?os aren't hot. If you take a bunch raw in your mouth,
it will be rather spicy.
