The jalapeño pepper is a type of chili pepper originating from Mexico, known for its spicy taste. Its name comes from the city of Jalapa, located in the state of Veracruz, where it is widely cultivated. Jalapeño peppers are characterized by their elongated shape, typically measuring between 5 and 10 centimeters long.
In this article, as Capital Food Services, we invite you to explore the diversity of spicy flavors in Mexican cuisine, which can enrich your culinary experiences by experimenting with new recipes.
Jalapeño Pepper: Authentic Spicy Flavor in Your Preparations
Jalapeño pepper can vary in terms of spiciness, measured on the Scoville scale. Jalapeños generally have a moderate level of spiciness, but this can vary depending on factors such as climate and the maturity of the plant. Some jalapeños are green when immature and turn red when ripe, although there are also yellow and orange varieties.
