The product we use
This product consists of fine powder made from dried jalapeño peppers and is not a ready-made seasoning blend. Its pure form allows you to use it on its own or in your own combinations with other spices. This gives you greater control over the intensity and proportions in your recipe.
Origin and identity
The botanical species Capsicum annuum includes many well-known pepper varieties used in cooking around the world. The natural raw ingredient may vary in intensity and shade.
Aroma, color, and flavor
It has the characteristic aroma of dried pepper, and its flavor develops further when the product is heated or incorporated into liquids and fats. Heat levels may naturally vary between individual peppers and harvests.
How to use it
It pairs well with tacos, meat, eggs, sauces, dips, vegetables, and marinades. It can be added at the beginning for a deeper infusion or toward the end for a more pronounced flavor. For marinades, mix it with oil and other seasonings. To better control the heat, add it gradually.
Pairings
It pairs well with paprika, cumin, coriander, garlic, onion, oregano, and black pepper. It can also be used in custom blends for meat, tacos, or grilled foods. Start with a small amount, especially if you are unfamiliar with the heat level of the particular batch.
Natural appearance
As a natural agricultural product, it may vary slightly in color, size, shape, and texture. In ground forms, there may be different flake sizes or small amounts of seeds. These variations are normal and do not affect its use.
Practical use in the kitchen
Adding it gradually is the safest way to control the flavor. In dishes that cook for a long time, the heat and aroma become more fully incorporated, while adding it toward the end gives a more immediate flavor. Stir well to distribute it evenly.
Use as a seasoning
It is especially convenient for tacos, meat, eggs, sauces, dips, vegetables, and marinades. It can be used on its own or as a base for custom seasoning blends. Extra care is needed when measuring very hot peppers, and hands should be washed thoroughly after handling.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry, and dark place, away from moisture, steam, heat, and direct sunlight. After opening, seal the package tightly and use a clean, dry utensil to protect the aroma, color, and texture.
Precautions
Avoid contact with the eyes and sensitive areas, and wash your hands thoroughly after handling. Do not inhale the powder in ground forms. If you have a known sensitivity to hot peppers, use the product with particular care or avoid it.
