Jalapeno Pepper

VEGETABLE

These spicy chilli peppers are loved for their mild kick, often used in South American cuisine. They suit both hearty and creamy dishes, adding an additional depth of flavour that's spicy yet subtly sweet.

Packed with vitamins like C, B6, K and E, Jalapeños are great not only for their taste. They also have some phytonutrients like capsaicin that has potentially both anti-cancer and pain relief properties, but in contrast, associations have been made with chilli peppers and cancer risk.
