Green Jalapeno Chilli Powder

Green Jalapeno Chilli Powder comes from the dried and ground pods of a species of Capsicum Anuum.  Green peppers have a different flavour to red peppers due to how ripe they are. They typically have a crisp, fresh grassy taste, whereas the red peppers have more sweetness to them. As far as heat levels go, the peppers range from about 3,000 – 8,000 on the Scoville heat scale. Green tend to sit at the milder end of the scale and red at the hotter end. This is generally down to the length of time the pepper is on the plant, building capsaicin levels.

Green Jalapeno Chilli Powder is great for all kinds of foods. It brings a different flavour to foods than standard chilli powder and matches well with Mexican dishes. The fresh flavour is great at a summer barbeque or in a winter stew and everywhere in between! Other Mexican chilli powders we have include DeArbol, Chipotle, Habanero, Ancho, Pasilla, Guajillo, Mulato and more! We also have Jalapeno Chilli Flakes if you’re looking for something other than a powder.

The heat from chillies is a subjective thing we find; what some may find too hot, others might find tame. Therefore, you should go easy on chillies, chilli powders and blends with chilli powders in them to find the heat level you like. If you are tasting as you go, you can always add a little more if you need to, but taking heat out is difficult if not impossible.
