I remember when I first moved to Texas... I planted some Jalapenos and when the first harvest came in, I washed one off, took a bit and spent the next 45 mins trying to kill the heat.

I have seen people selling theirs on ebay for $5 each. Pretty crazy. I am not at a point where I have enough ripe peppers to give out. They are slow to ripen.
As for the taste, its practically nonexistent, just instant heat!! Pores open quickly. I think my ears actually were sweating.
Since then, I have learned to "pace' myself. Hehe
