Jalapeños are medium-hot chili peppers with a bright, grassy flavor and a crisp texture. They are among the most widely used chili peppers in the world, appearing raw in salsas and pico de gallo, pickled as a topping, or cooked into sauces, stews, and grilled dishes.
Nutritionally, jalapeños are low in calories and provide vitamin C, vitamin A, and dietary fiber, along with capsaicin, the compound responsible for their heat. Because they add spice and depth for very few calories, they are a staple ingredient in calorie-conscious cooking.
