📝 Description

What is this product?

Green Jalapeño is a medium-sized chili pepper known for its bright green color, thick flesh, and signature spicy kick. It offers a balanced heat level (2,500–8,000 Scoville Heat Units) — milder than many hot peppers but strong enough to add a fiery edge to any dish. Jalapeños have a crisp, juicy texture with a slightly smoky, earthy flavor, making them ideal for fresh salads, nachos, burgers, pizzas, and salsas. They can be eaten raw, roasted, pickled, or stuffed. Naturally rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, and capsaicin, jalapeños are not just flavorful but also promote metabolism, digestion, and heart health.

🌍 Origin

Green Jalapeños originally hail from Mexico, where they’ve been cultivated for centuries as a key ingredient in Mexican cuisine. Today, they are also grown in countries like Spain, Egypt, and the USA, benefiting from warm, sunny climates and fertile soils. Each pepper is carefully hand-picked at peak maturity to ensure perfect color, crispness, and balanced flavor. Their vibrant green hue and fresh, firm skin make them a premium-quality choice for both home cooking and restaurant use.
