What it is

Aged peppers are chili peppers that have been allowed to mature and develop flavor over time. This aging process, often involving fermentation or curing, can mellow the heat and deepen the taste of the peppers.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use aged peppers to add a complex, rich flavor to a variety of foods. They are commonly found in condiments like ketchup, mustard, and barbecue sauce, as well as in pickled vegetables and relishes.

Health notes

Aged peppers are generally recognized as safe by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a source of capsaicin, the compound that gives chili peppers their heat, which may have some antioxidant properties. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated capsaicinoids, but no specific health concerns are typically associated with the levels found in food.
