What it is

Dehydrated green jalapeno pepper is a dried version of the moderately hot jalapeno pepper. The peppers are typically harvested when green and then dried using heat or air to remove moisture, concentrating their flavor and heat.

Why it's used

It is used to add a spicy, vegetal flavor to a wide variety of foods. Manufacturers add it to snacks like chips and pretzels, as well as in dips, relishes, and prepared meals.

Health notes

Dehydrated green jalapeno pepper is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is 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 specific evaluations for dehydrated jalapeno pepper are not widely publicized.
