What it is

Ground jalapeno is a spice made from dried, ground jalapeno peppers. Jalapenos are a medium-sized chili pepper variety originating from Mexico, known for their moderate heat and distinct flavor. The grinding process breaks down the dried peppers into a powder or coarse meal.

Why it's used

Ground jalapeno is used to add a spicy kick and distinct pepper flavor to a wide range of foods. It is commonly found in spice blends, marinades, sauces, snacks like popcorn and nuts, and in dishes such as chili, tacos, and stews.

Health notes

Ground jalapeno is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. The capsaicinoids in chili peppers, including jalapenos, are responsible for their heat and may have some effects on metabolism and pain perception. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated chili peppers and their extracts. Evidence on specific long-term health effects of typical dietary intake is still being researched.

Allergen info

Ground jalapeno is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
