Fresh Jalapeno Peppers, 2 lbs.

Delicious and Nutritious

Fresh jalapeños are known for their bold, zesty flavor and moderate heat that can add a fiery kick to any dish. Jalapeños are packed with natural goodness. The green skin is smooth and firm, while the seeds and inner membranes contain the majority of the heat. When selecting fresh jalapeños, always look for peppers that are firm, glossy, and smooth. Jalapeños are not only delicious but also offer a variety of health benefits. High in vitamin C, they help boost your immune system, promote healthy skin, and assist in collagen production.

Bring the Heat and Flavor to Your Dish

Jalapeños pair wonderfully with a wide range of foods, bringing both heat and flavor to any dish. For a quick and easy recipe, try a Spicy Guacamole dip: 

Ingredients

• Avocados: 3 ripe, slightly soft to the touch
• Jalapeño: 1 whole, finely diced (remove seeds for less heat, leave them in for a spicy kick)
• Lime Juice: 2–3 tablespoons (about 1 freshly squeezed lime)
• Onion: ½ cup finely chopped white or red onion
• Garlic: 1-2 cloves, finely minced or pressed
• Cilantro: ¼ cup chopped fresh leaves and tender stems
• Tomato: 1 medium Roma tomato, seeded and diced
• Seasoning: ½ tsp sea salt, plus more to taste 

Instructions

1. Prep the base: Halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl. 
2. Mash: Add the lime juice, minced garlic, and salt. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the avocado until it reaches your desired texture—leave it a bit chunky for the best mouthfeel.
3. Mix in aromatics: Gently stir in the diced jalapeño, chopped onion, and fresh cilantro.
4. Fold in tomatoes: Carefully fold in the diced tomatoes last so they keep their shape.
5. Taste and serve: Taste the guacamole and adjust the salt and lime juice as needed. Serve immediately with your favorite tortilla chips, or use as a topping for tacos.

Tips for Storing and Handling

To store fresh jalapeños, keep them in the vegetable drawer of your fridge where they’ll stay fresh for 1-2 weeks. When handling fresh jalapeños, it's advisable to wear gloves to avoid skin irritation from the capsaicin, the compound that gives peppers their heat. If you don’t use gloves, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly afterward and avoid touching your face, particularly your eyes.
