What it is

Diced organic jalapeños are pieces of the jalapeño pepper, a medium-sized chili pepper variety. They are grown using organic farming methods, meaning without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. After harvesting, the peppers are typically washed, diced, and sometimes preserved through methods like pickling or freezing.

Why it's used

Diced jalapeños are primarily used to add a spicy flavor and a touch of heat to a variety of dishes. They are commonly found in Mexican and Southwestern-inspired foods such as salsas, dips, nachos, chili, and frozen entrees like burritos and pizzas.

Health notes

Jalapeños are a vegetable and 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 antioxidant properties. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated capsaicinoids. While generally safe in food amounts, very high consumption of chili peppers can cause digestive upset in some individuals.

Allergen info

Jalapeños are not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. They are also naturally gluten-free.
