What it is
Dehydrated jalapeño pepper is a dried version of the jalapeño chili pepper, which is a medium-sized chili pepper originating from Mexico. The drying process concentrates its flavor and heat, making it a potent spice.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use dehydrated jalapeño pepper primarily as a flavoring agent to impart a spicy, pungent taste. It is commonly found in snack foods like chips and pretzels, as well as processed meats such as sausages and hot dogs.
Health notes
Dehydrated jalapeño pepper is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. Capsaicin, the compound that gives chili peppers their heat, may have some health effects, but these are typically associated with high consumption. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated capsaicin and related compounds. Evidence regarding specific health benefits or risks at typical dietary intake levels is still being researched.
Allergen info
Dehydrated jalapeño pepper is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
