Jalapeño (250g)

Description

Jalapeno peppers are a type of chili pepper that is native to Mexico. They are named after the city of Jalapa, the capital of Veracruz, where they were traditionally grown. Jalapeno peppers are known for their spicy and flavorful taste and are commonly used in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine, where they are often used to add heat and flavor to dishes like salsas, dips, and sauces, and are also commonly pickled and served as a condiment.

Jalapeno peppers have been grown in Mexico for hundreds of years and were introduced to the United States in the late 1800s. Today, they are widely grown in many parts of the world, including the United States, Central and South America, and the Caribbean.

Jalapeno peppers are a good source of vitamin C and contain small amounts of other vitamins and minerals like vitamin A, potassium, and iron. They are low in calories and fat and are a good source of fiber. Jalapeno peppers also contain a compound called capsaicin, which is responsible for their spicy flavor and may have some health benefits. Some research suggests that capsaicin may have anti-inflammatory effects and may help with weight loss and blood sugar control.
