Is the "capsicum annuum" milder or hotter than the jalapeno pepper?
Jalapeño The jalapeño ( , , , ] ) is a medium-sized chili pepper pod type cultivar of the species "Capsicum annuum". A mature jalapeño fruit is 5 - long and hangs down with a round, firm, smooth flesh of 25 - wide. Depending on cultivar, it can have a wide range of pungency, with Scoville heat units of a few thousand to as high as 462,884 (Chiltepín cultivar). Commonly picked and consumed while still green, it is occasionally allowed to fully ripen and turn red, orange, or yellow. It is wider and generally milder than the similar Serrano pepper. The Chile Pepper Institute is known for developing colored variations.
Turban squash Turban squash, also known as "Turk's turban" or "French turban" (""Giraumon"" in French), is a type of squash most often used as a winter squash. It is an heirloom, predating 1820. A cultivar of "Cucurbita maxima", it is closely related to the buttercup squash. It is typically 6 pounds when mature. Colors vary, but are often mottled in shades of orange, green, and white. The squash is used as both a vegetable and as an ornamental gourd. Taste is similar to other "C. maxima" cultivars, though "not as vibrant," "reminiscent to hazelnut," and "coarse, watery and insipid." Known in the nineteenth century as "the most beautiful in color, and the most worthless in quality, of all the varieties of squash;" selective breeding since then may have improved the flavor.
