Fire Roasted Jalapeo Peppers

Jalapeño peppers are a medium-sized chili pepper variety originating from the Mexican state of Jalapa. "Fire roasted" means the peppers have been exposed to direct flame or high heat, which gives them a smoky flavor and slightly charred appearance.

Fire roasted jalapeño peppers are used to add a smoky, spicy flavor and aroma to a variety of foods. They are commonly found in dips, salsas, sauces, marinades, and as a topping for pizzas, tacos, and grilled meats.

Jalapeño peppers are a source of vitamins A and C, and capsaicin, the compound that gives them their heat. Capsaicin has been studied for potential effects on metabolism and pain relief, though research is ongoing. The FDA considers jalapeños to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used as a food ingredient. No specific health risks are associated with typical consumption.
