What it is
The jalapeño is a medium-sized chili pepper, a cultivar of the species Capsicum annuum. It originates from the area of Mexico, specifically the city of Xalapa, Veracruz, from which its name derives. Jalapeños are typically harvested when green, but can be left to ripen to red.
Why it's used
Jalapeños are primarily used to add a spicy, pungent flavor to foods. They are a popular ingredient in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine, appearing in dishes like salsa, guacamole, nachos, and stuffed peppers. They can be used fresh, pickled, or dried.
Health notes
Jalapeños are a source of vitamins A and C, and contain capsaicin, the compound responsible for their heat. The FDA considers jalapeños to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) when used as a food ingredient. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated capsaicinoids, but no specific health claims are associated with typical consumption levels of jalapeños in the US.
Allergen info
Jalapeños are not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
