Jalapeno Green Chilli: pungent aroma, slightly sweet taste and medium heat. Very versatile in the kitchen. Great in sauces or sprinkled on anything that needs a little heat.
The Jalapeño is the most widely known and consumed chilli pepper in the world. Of the Capsicum annuum species, this jalapeño is a moderately spicy variety, with values between 2,500-8,000 on the Scoville scale. In Mexico, the jalapeño chilli is also known in some areas as the cuaresmeño chilli.
The origin of its name is found in the city of Xalapa, also named Jalapa, in the state of Veracruz, Mexico. Spanish and Portuguese explorers introduced them to Europe and Asia in the 15th and 16th centuries.
All peppers are full of vitamins and antioxidants. The green variety of jalapeño has been ripening less than the red jalapeño (sweeter) so levels of capsiacin (the chemical that makes peppers hot) are lower. They are a source of vitamins and antioxidants
