How can you tell a jalapeno is hot(spicy)?!
Since you really like heat, try switching to using a chipotle (smoked Jalapeno) or a Scotch Bonnet/Habenero pepper. Even though a Chipotle is a Jalepeno, it is much hotter because of the way it is roasted, the heat in the seeds permeates the pepper flesh. And the Scotch Bonnet or Habenero (same pepper) is the hottest commercially available pepper in the world.
Answers: No way to find out from what I can tell. I have had big and small and have had mild and hotter of each. If you want a milder pepper, keep in mind that most of the capsacin (the heat) is in the ribs and the seeds. Remove the seeds and cut back the ribs and you will have a much milder pepper.

as a rule, the smaller the pepper, the hotter it is. just assume that all jalapeno peppers are hot.
The larger the pepper is, the less heat it has. It is a rule to live by!
I think the way to know is to taste it!!
you bite it, and if your mouth burns its spicy.
bite into it...they're all different
iv heard the smaller ones hare more hot but idk. how many calories are in jalapenos?
