Some pepperoncini have a kick and will suprise you. If you are used to eating the ones that are pickled, the heat will dissapate some during that process. Raw peppers are always spicier.

My hot peppers are usually way hotter than they are supposed to be. I stopped growing them because of it but I’m back to growing them because I acquired a taste for even hotter peppers now. And if they are still too hot I chop a few up in a recipe to give it some heat.

Wait till they ripen, it “may” mellow a bit. Though in my experience that hasn’t been the case.

I grew 8 pepperoncini from 2 different suppliers, 4 were spicier than I wanted, the other 4 were mild as I expected. Also, could any of them have been crosspollinated? It won’t change the normal output of the plant, but will change the crossed peppers spiciness.
