It is also a good source of capsaicin, vitamin A and even contains up to six times more vitamin C than an orange. One of our must-have for Tex Mex cuisine.
This pepper is named after the place where it was originally grown and is an excellent option for those who are not fans of the spicy flavor. It is an excellent source of vitamin C and helps control blood glucose and cholesterol levels. Like serrano, its most common use is when it is still green, since it takes on a more reddish color as it matures
The jalapeño pepper (named for its first place of cultivation in Jalapa, Veracruz) is an essential ingredient in Mexican and Tex-mex cuisine.
