Peppers, Hot - Jalapeno - Conventional -BC

BC-Grown Jalapeño Peppers - 0.5lbs

Fresh, crisp and pleasantly spicy, these BC-grown jalapeño peppers bring just enough heat to wake up a meal without overwhelming everything else.

Jalapeños have a fresh, slightly grassy pepper flavour alongside their heat, which makes them useful for much more than simply making food spicy. Chop them into salsa, slice them over tacos, roast them, pickle them or stuff them with something delicious.

Why You’ll Love Them

• Grown in BC

• Fresh, crisp pepper flavour

• Moderate heat

• Delicious raw, cooked, roasted or pickled

• An easy way to add a little kick to everyday meals

Great For

Salsa, tacos, nachos, chili, eggs, burgers, quesadillas, cornbread, stir-fries, marinades, hot sauce and quick-pickled peppers.

For less heat, remove the pale inner ribs and seeds before chopping. If you like things hotter, leave them in.

Storage

Store jalapeños refrigerated in the crisper drawer, ideally in a loose bag or container. Keep them dry until you're ready to use them.

Build Your Basket

Add tomatoes, red onion and cilantro for homemade salsa, or grab corn, peppers and onions for tacos, quesadillas or a quick sheet-pan dinner.

Good to Know

Jalapeños are generally considered a moderately hot chile pepper, but their heat can vary surprisingly widely from pepper to pepper. Growing conditions and the individual fruit can all influence how spicy it tastes.

And those little tan lines you sometimes see on jalapeños? They're called corking. They're a natural response as the pepper grows and aren't a sign that anything is wrong with it.

How to Stretch This

Have more jalapeños than you can use this week? Quick-pickle them and keep them in the fridge for tacos, sandwiches, nachos and burgers.

They're also incredibly easy to freeze. Chop or slice them, freeze in a single layer and transfer to a container once frozen. There's no need to thaw them before tossing a handful into chili, soup or cooked dishes.
