What it is
Fire roasted green jalapeno puree is made from ripe green jalapeno peppers that have been roasted to impart a smoky flavor. The roasted peppers are then pureed, often with added ingredients like water or salt, to create a smooth consistency. This process intensifies the pepper's natural heat and flavor.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use fire roasted green jalapeno puree to add a spicy, smoky flavor and a vibrant green color to foods. It is commonly found in Mexican-inspired dishes, sauces, dips, marinades, and snack foods. Its intense flavor allows it to be used in small quantities to enhance the overall taste profile.
Health notes
Fire roasted green jalapeno puree is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. Jalapenos are a source of vitamins and antioxidants, but the puree form does not significantly alter these properties at typical consumption levels. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated capsaicinoids, the compounds responsible for chili pepper heat, and found them to be safe. There are no widespread controversies regarding the safety of jalapeno puree itself.
Allergen info
Jalapeno peppers are not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
