Green jalapeños are vibrant, medium-sized chili peppers known for their crisp texture and spicy kick. Native to Mexico, they are a key ingredient in many Latin American and Southwestern cuisines, bringing bold flavor to salsas, tacos, and marinades. Jalapeños are low in calories and packed with vitamin C, which supports immune health, and antioxidants that help combat free radicals. They also contain capsaicin, the compound responsible for their heat, which may aid metabolism and provide anti-inflammatory benefits. Though they are healthy in moderation, their spicy nature can potentially irritate the digestive system for some individuals, especially if consumed in large quantities. Whether enjoyed fresh, pickled, or roasted, green jalapeños are a flavorful and nutrient-rich addition to a balanced diet.
