One of my plants is producing these pale white/yellow approx 2″ long peppers. Medium spice level. I’m a novice so my quick research says they’re white jalapenos (they were started from my pack of jalapeno seeds) but wanted to get more info.

Might be caloro, they look a lot like mine. I am growing them on purpose. The larger ones that first grew on my plant were shaped just like a jalapeno, and pale in color like yours. Later ones grew in more like these and less traditional jalapeno-shaped. I do believe my plant needs a larger pot than the 1.5 gallon it is in. T
I’ve been enjoying mine fresh, and cooked in many different dishes and really enjoy them. I felt there was a more fruity taste to them when I let them ripen longer, and start to turn orange. But they are good at all stages. The ripe pods were for seed harvesting as much as flavor. This was my first year with these, but I like them and will try to overwinter my plant. Should that fail, it has already provided me with many seeds to grow more.
Google Jalapenogate.
Look like banana or Hungarian wax. Jalapeñogate strikes again.
My caloro peppers look identical! Pretty much just a different jalapeño variety that ripens from green to white/pale yellow to red eventually if you let them ripen long enough!
