Jalapeños

Jalapeño is a small, spicy chili pepper widely used in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisines and as a flavoring in many global dishes; it's known for its bright heat and crisp texture. It’s very low in calories and packs a notably high amount of vitamin C at 118.6mg per 100g, along with modest fiber and a touch of protein. Beyond vitamin content, jalapeños contain capsaicin—the compound responsible for their heat—which contributes to pungency and has been studied for metabolism and pain-relief effects, and they also provide antioxidant polyphenols that support overall health.
