Jalapeño peppers are medium-sized chili peppers with origins in Mexico, widely celebrated for their vibrant heat and versatility in cooking. Rich in vitamins A, C, and B6, they support immune health, skin vitality, and brain function, while their compounds, particularly capsaicin, may promote metabolism and reduce inflammation. Jalapeños are low in calories and packed with antioxidants, making them a nutritious addition to salsas, marinades, and grilled dishes in Mexican cuisine and beyond. However, their fiery spice can be harsh on sensitive stomachs and may trigger digestive discomfort for some individuals. Whether pickled, fresh, or roasted, jalapeños provide a bold flavor kick while contributing valuable nutrients, making them a popular choice for those seeking both taste and health benefits in a pepper.
