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.
Pattypan squash Pattypan squash (or 'patty pan') is a variety of summer squash ("Cucurbita pepo") notable for its small size, round and shallow shape, and scalloped edges, somewhat resembling a small toy top, or flying saucer. The name "pattypan" derives from "a pan for baking a patty". Its French name, "pâtisson", derives from a Provençal word for a cake made in a scalloped mould. The pattypan squash is also known as scallop squash, peter pan squash, sunburst squash, granny squash, custard marrow, custard squash, ciblème in Cajun French, white squash, button squash, scallopini, or simply "squash" in Australian English, or schwoughksie squash (pronounced "shwooxie squash"), especially if grown in the Poughkeepsie, New York, area.
