Organic Jalapeno Puree

Organic jalapeño puree is made from ripe jalapeño peppers that are grown using organic farming methods. The peppers are typically washed, seeded, and then pureed into a smooth paste. This process concentrates their flavor and heat.

Manufacturers use organic jalapeño puree to add a spicy, peppery flavor and a vibrant green color to foods. It is commonly found in sauces, dips, salsas, marinades, and processed snacks.

Jalapeño peppers are a source of capsaicin, the compound responsible for their heat. Capsaicin has been studied for various potential health effects, though research is ongoing. The FDA considers jalapeños and their derivatives, like puree, to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used as food ingredients. International bodies like EFSA have also evaluated capsaicinoids, but no specific numeric limits are typically set for whole foods or their natural derivatives in this context.
