What it is
Dehydrated jalapeno pepper is a dried version of the moderately hot jalapeno chili pepper. It is made by removing the water content from fresh jalapenos, which concentrates their flavor and extends their shelf life. This process can be done through air drying, oven drying, or freeze-drying.
Why it's used
Dehydrated jalapeno pepper is used to add a spicy, pungent flavor to a wide variety of foods. It is a popular ingredient in spice blends, rubs, and seasonings for meats, vegetables, and snacks. It can also be rehydrated and used in sauces, salsas, and marinades.
Health notes
Dehydrated 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 responsible for the heat in chili peppers, which has been studied for potential health effects. JECFA has evaluated capsaicinoids, but did not set a numeric limit. Evidence on the health effects of capsaicin is mixed, with some studies suggesting benefits and others indicating potential for gastrointestinal upset in sensitive individuals.
Allergen info
Dehydrated jalapeno pepper is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
