Ingredient Focus: Organic Serrano, Organic Jalapeños, White Vinegar
The jalapeno is one of the most popular chiles in the world. A relatively mild chile at 2,500 - 8,000 scoville heat units, this chile is well-tolerated even by those without a hunger for heat! Because of this, some consider it a “gateway pepper.”
The jalapeno originates in Mexico, where it’s used in cooking, but also consumed as a snack food. Green jalapenos offer grassy and vegetal flavors, which makes them an excellent partner for light flavors, like vegetables, salsas, chicken and seafood.
Something you may not know about the humble jalapeno; they’re an excellent source of vitamin C! Ounce for ounce, the jalapeno has more vitamin C than an orange.
The serrano chile is a bit hotter than its cousin the jalapeno, at 10,000 - 20,000 scoville heat units. The flavor profile is similar, grassy and bright when green.
Both chiles ripen to red, becoming sweeter in the process. Roasting either of these peppers tempers their vegetal nature, bringing out earthy and smoky notes. Both jalapenos and serranos tend to get hotter as they age, meaning that the fully ripe red peppers may be hotter than the green ones.
