Fire Roasted Jalapeo

Fire-roasted jalapeño is a type of chili pepper that has been cooked over an open flame. This process gives the pepper a smoky flavor and a slightly softened texture. Jalapeños are typically medium-sized with a vibrant green color, though they can turn red as they ripen.

Manufacturers use fire-roasted jalapeños to add a distinct smoky and spicy flavor to a variety of foods. They are often found in savory dishes such as dips, salsas, sauces, marinades, and processed meats. The roasting process also contributes to their texture, making them suitable for incorporation into fillings and toppings.

Jalapeños are a natural food ingredient and are not subject to FDA additive regulations. They are a source of vitamins A and C, and capsaicin, the compound that gives them their heat. While generally recognized as safe as a food, excessive consumption of very spicy foods can sometimes cause digestive discomfort. No international bodies like JECFA or EFSA have evaluated jalapeños as a food additive, as they are considered a whole food ingredient.
