What it is

Diced green chile peppers are pieces of unripe chile peppers, typically jalapeños or similar varieties. They are grown in various regions, including the Southwestern United States, and are often roasted or steamed before being diced for food products.

Why it's used

Diced green chiles are used to add a mild to moderate spicy flavor and a fresh, vegetal taste to foods. They are commonly found in frozen dinners, burritos, wraps, salsas, and dips, where they contribute both flavor and texture.

Health notes

Green chiles are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a source of vitamins A and C, and capsaicin, the compound that gives chiles their heat, has been studied for potential health effects. JECFA has evaluated capsaicinoids, but specific evaluations for diced green chiles as a whole ingredient are not widely published. At typical consumption levels, they are considered safe and contribute to the overall nutritional profile of foods.

Allergen info

Diced green chile is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
