What it is
Fire roasted diced green chiles are pieces of green chile peppers that have been roasted over an open flame. This roasting process gives them a smoky flavor and softens them slightly. They are commonly made from varieties like Anaheim or Poblano peppers.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add fire roasted diced green chiles primarily for their distinct smoky flavor and mild heat. They are used to enhance the taste of various dishes, especially in Mexican and Southwestern cuisine. You can find them in frozen meals, dips, sauces, and canned goods.
Health notes
Green chiles are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. They are a source of vitamins, particularly Vitamin C and A, and contain capsaicin, which is responsible for their heat and may have some antioxidant properties. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated capsaicinoids, but specific evaluations for 'fire roasted diced green chiles' as a distinct ingredient are not typically listed. At typical consumption levels, they are not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Green chiles are not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
