What it is
Diced jalapeño peppers are small pieces of the jalapeño chili pepper, which is a medium-sized chili pepper variety of the species Capsicum annuum. Originating in Mexico, jalapeños are known for their moderate heat and are widely cultivated in the United States.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add diced jalapeños to foods to provide a spicy flavor and a fresh, vegetal taste. They are commonly found in Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes, including salsas, dips, nachos, and as a topping for pizzas and sausages.
Health notes
Jalapeños are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They contain capsaicin, the compound responsible for their heat, which may have some health effects. JECFA has evaluated capsaicinoids, but did not set a numeric limit. Evidence on health effects is mixed and research is ongoing.
Allergen info
Jalapeños are not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
