Jalapeño chili peppers is a chili pepper known for its medium level of heat and distinct flavour. These peppers are typically 2-3 inches long and have a glossy green skin that turns red as they mature. Jalapeños can be used fresh or dried, and are often used in Mexican cuisine, as well as in many other dishes around the world. They can be diced and added to salsas, guacamole, and chili, or pickled and used to add a tangy kick to sandwiches and salads. Jalapeño peppers are also rich in vitamins C and A, and contain a compound called capsaicin, which is believed to have anti-inflammatory properties. Jalapeño plants are easy to grow in warm, sunny locations and can produce a plentiful harvest of peppers throughout the growing season.
