What it is

Organic jalapeños are a variety of chili pepper that are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. They are a medium-sized pepper, typically 2 to 4 inches long, with a bright green color that may turn red when fully ripe. Jalapeños are known for their moderate heat and are widely used in cuisines around the world.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use jalapeños to add a spicy flavor and a touch of heat to a wide variety of food products. They are a popular ingredient in dips, salsas, pickles, relishes, chili, and stews. Their distinct taste also makes them a common addition to snack foods and prepared meals.

Health notes

Jalapeños are a natural food product and are not subject to FDA additive regulations. They are a source of vitamins A and C, and contain capsaicin, the compound responsible for their heat. Some research suggests capsaicin may have anti-inflammatory properties, but more studies are needed. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) have not classified jalapeños specifically, but have evaluated capsaicinoids. Evidence regarding health effects at typical dietary intake levels is generally considered safe.

Allergen info

Jalapeños are not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
