Are green chilies the same thing as jalapenos?!
The dinner I plan on cooking tonight consists of green chilies!.!.!. and with the jalapeno recall (because of salmonella), I was just wondering if green chilies are the same thing as jalapenos!. I don't think they are but with the recall of fresh jalapenos and jalapeno products, you can probably understand my concern!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
no they are different types of peppers, but you can certainly use them as a good substitute for jalapenosWww@FoodAQ@Com
No, they are not the same!.
This is a green chili: http://www!.freshchannels!.com/image/nav/c!.!.!.
This is a jalapeno: http://www!.all-creatures!.org/recipes/ima!.!.!.
But just because "green chilis" didn't get recalled like tomatos and jalapenos, it doesn't mean there's no salmonella on them!. Your chances of getting sick are the same since they are all grown in similar conditions!. Truthfully, if you just wash and cook all your vegetables before eating them, you will be fine!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Chilis & Other Peppers
Chilis are yet another branch of the diverse Nightshade family!. New varieties are constantly popping up with all nightshades, but for Chilis proliferation borders on the ridiculous!.
Chilis vary distinctly in flavor, fleshiness (thickness of pod wall), size and shape, but more than anything they vary in "hotness"!.

This month we chose to showcase chili peppers!. Yes, we know they're not technically an herb!. But they definitely have their place in the kitchen and they grow like crazy in the hot summer months! Peppers thrive in the heat and the more you pick the more you'll get! Sometimes more than you could ever possibly use fresh!.
They freeze well and can be made into hot sauces, chutneys, chili sauce and a myriad of other delectable and spicy condiments!. Some like it hot, some mild!. Whatever your preference we hope to provide you with information, recipes and links to tantalize your taste buds and get you to try some of these fiery jewels!.
The Botany of Peppers:
All peppers are members of the genus Capsicum, and the family Solanaceae, which include tomatoes and eggplant!. The name Capsicum comes from the Greek kapto, which means "to bite"!. There are 26 species of peppers categorized at present; however there is much discussion and argument involved!. Most of these are only found in the wild!.
There are five species of domesticated peppers:
Annum, from "annual; this includes most of the common peppers found in markets including bell peppers, jalape?os and New Mexican!.
baccatum, from "berry-like"; these are the aji peppers found commonly in South America!.
chinese, meaning "from China"; this includes the famous habanero, Scotch Bonnets, etc!.
frutescens, meaning "brushy" and are the tabasco peppers!.
pubescens, from "hairy"; these are the South American rocoto peppers!.
The more common names seen in seed catalogs and in markets are usually the cultivar, or variety names!. References to
annum species often include the pod type!. Due to easy inbreeding between annum, chinense and frutescens, there are hundreds of different varieties found throughout the world!.
All peppers originated in the New World!. The origin seems to be in the area of Bolivia and Paraguay in South America!. Wild peppers were spread by birds, who are apparently unaffected by the heat of the fruit!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No, they are not the same but you can definately substitute either one for each other!.
Green chilies are warm, but jalepenos have a little more fire to them, it just depends on which you'd rather have!.
