Jalapeño peppers are medium-sized chili peppers originating from Mexico that are widely celebrated in various cuisines for their bold flavor and moderate heat. Rich in vitamins A, C, and B6, they are also a good source of dietary fiber and antioxidants, which can help support immune health and reduce inflammation. Jalapeños contain capsaicin, the compound responsible for their spiciness, which has been linked to potential metabolism-boosting and pain-relieving properties. Low in calories and fat, they are a healthy addition to salsas, salads, and cooked dishes, offering a spicy kick without compromising nutrition. However, their heat may irritate the digestive system for some individuals, especially when consumed in large quantities. Whether enjoyed fresh, pickled, or roasted, jalapeños are a versatile ingredient that brings both health benefits and vibrant flavor to the table.
