Jalapeños are a small, spicy chili pepper native to Mexico, widely embraced in cuisines around the world. Known for their distinctive heat, they rate between 2,500 and 8,000 Scoville Heat Units, making them milder than many other chili peppers. Jalapeños are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, offering immune support, antioxidant benefits, and bone health. They also contain capsaicin, the compound responsible for their spiciness, which may aid in metabolism and pain relief. Low in calories and high in fiber, they are a flavorful addition to dishes like salsas, tacos, and stir-fries. However, their spiciness can irritate the stomach or digestive system in sensitive individuals, so moderation is key. Whether fresh, pickled, or roasted, jalapeños are a versatile ingredient that brings a fiery kick and nutritional benefits to a variety of meals.
