JALAPEÑO FLAKES (2,500-8,000 SHU)

Jalapeño flakes, made from carefully dried and crushed jalapeño chilies, originate from Mexico and are known for their balanced heat and distinctive, slightly fruity flavor. These flakes are a versatile ingredient in Mexican and international cuisine, ideal for seasoning dishes that require a mild to medium heat.

Fiery, mild, fruity, with a subtle sweetness that goes perfectly with savory dishes.

Jalapeño flakes are perfect for use in salsas, tacos, pizza, pasta dishes, and much more. They give marinades and dressings a spicy kick and are also excellent for adding an interesting touch to grilled meat and vegetables.

The jalapeño is one of Mexico's most famous chili peppers and owes its name to the city of Xalapa (Jalapa) in Veracruz. It belongs to the medium-hot category of chili peppers, which makes it particularly versatile. In Mexican cuisine, it is considered an everyday classic and is used fresh, smoked (chipotle), or dried, as shown here in flake form.
