Unlike most jalapeño peppers, which are picked while still green, these El Jefe–variety jalapeño peppers are allowed to ripen on the vine, where they turn bright red and sweet. They're medium-hot and perfect for cooking or garnishing, in a tomato sauce, with eggs or on fresh fruit.

Red Jalapeño
Great taste and right amount of heat
United StatesBright flavor!
I love the Red Jalapeno flakes so much that I'm now giving some as gifts. It's a beautiful bright flavor with just the right amount of heat. I've used this in a few dishes, but the most interesting addition was to mushroom & shallot quiche. It certainly elevated the dish!
