What it is

Jalapeno granules are dried and ground pieces of the jalapeno pepper, a popular chili pepper known for its moderate heat. The peppers are typically harvested, dried, and then ground into granules or powder for use as a spice.

Why it's used

Jalapeno granules are used to add a distinct spicy flavor and aroma to a variety of foods. They are commonly found in processed meats like sausages and hot dogs, as well as in snacks, sauces, and spice blends.

Health notes

Jalapeno granules are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a spice or flavoring. Capsaicin, the compound that gives chili peppers their heat, is being studied for potential health effects, but at the levels found in food, it is not typically a concern. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated capsaicinoids, but have not set specific limits for their use as flavoring agents in this form.

Allergen info

Jalapeno granules are not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
