Organic Jalapeno Powder

Organic jalapeno powder is made from dried, ground jalapeno peppers. Jalapenos are a medium-hot chili pepper variety that originated in Mexico. The drying and grinding process concentrates their flavor and heat.

This powder is used to add a spicy, peppery flavor to foods. It's a common ingredient in seasoning blends, rubs, and marinades. You'll find it in dips, salsas, snacks like chips and pretzels, and some salad dressings.

Organic jalapeno powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. Capsaicin, the compound that gives chili peppers their heat, is being studied for various health effects, but research is ongoing and often mixed. JECFA has evaluated capsaicinoids, but did not set a numeric limit. At typical dietary levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
