I need these easy meals!Should You Seed the Jalapeno Pepper?
The answer to this is 100% up to personal preference. If you are a person that loves spicy dishes and can handle some heat, then I would give leaving some if not all of the seeds and give it a shot!
However, if you are not one for super bold spicy flavor, I would skip the seeds for this recipe. If you aren’t sure how to seed a jalapeno, Williams Sonoma Taste has a great blog that will tell you how to seed a jalapeno pepper to make sure that you don’t have some surprise heat in the corn chowder.
