Yes, they are the same although there is no tearing so the hold is the same.

Green Zapotec Jalapeno Review - One of these fell off the plant so I left it for Mark to taste. Well we both thought it was going to be sweet.
It did have a smokey flavor for about two seconds UNTIL it turned fiery hot. Immediately started to burn the back of his throat with heat. Very hot and after that subsided it was a good flavor BUT beware, these are hotter then stated.  |

This morning I ended the Sweet Jalapeno plant. I took all the green peppers off and have them on the counter for now. The plant never did very well. I think the Zapotec plant took all the nutes as that one is doing wonderful. Still waiting on them to change colors. They are all getting darker in color so soon I hope. The Apple Peppers I am also waiting on color change.

This will be the last update until I see some ripening. Under shot of one side of the Zapotec Peppers... They are darkening.. Some look like they have a red tinge but it is the lighting...

Sweet Jalapeno Review
While they are still green on the verge of changing colors, the Sweet Jalapeno I ate had no heat. Just sweet. Mark explained it well, if a bell pepper and a jalapeno had a baby, this would be it. The pepper was crunchy. will update this post with a picture once I cut one in half. |

I ended the Apple Pepper. The one that turned red Mark plucked. He was not fond of the taste. Yes it was sweet however it did have a floral note to it. I could not place my finger on it. I did try one that was turning and to me it tasted like a bell but with that floral note. The Zapactoc is still filled with peppers and taking FOREVER to change colors. These have been tasted green and were HOT, I can't wait for them to turn red to try.

I have about a dozen red Zapotec Jalapenos on my plant. I picked two to slice up and put in the Chili I have in the slow cooker.
Mark tried one last night. He bit the bottom tip and said they were sweet and really good... Until you get tot he seeds and pith. Then that is where it get HOT.

Mark gave his review. They are sweet but once you get to the seeds and pith, fiery hot. I will only put a couple in the dish to give it flavor and some heat. Not the amount I do in his chili
