The jalapeño chilli is widely recognised as one of the most popular chillies, originating from Mexico. Known for its mild heat, it's a staple in the kitchen of any chilli or Mexican food lover.

Scientifically named Capsicum annuum, the jalapeño scores around 3,500 on the Scoville Heat Units scale, offering a gentle spiciness that appeals to many palates. Its appeal lies not only in its heat level but also in its versatile flavour profile, which is crisp with a subtle grassy undertone.

Jalapeños are essential in a variety of dishes worldwide. They are commonly diced fresh for salsas, pickled to add a tangy kick, or grilled to impart a smoky flavour to tacos and quesadillas. Beyond Mexican cuisine, these peppers feature prominently in international dishes such as spicy nachos, jalapeño poppers, and infused oils, adding a flavour twist.

Jalapeños can be roasted, stuffed, or blended into sauces and marinades to enhance their heat and flavour, showcasing their adaptability across different culinary styles.
