Jalapeño

The Jalapeño is a medium-sized, crispy, mildly spicy pepper that is used in many Mexican dishes. With this pepper, a dish becomes a lot sharper. The Jalapeño is named after the Mexican city of Xalapa. The pepper is widely used in salsa dips, Mexican tacos/tortillas, chilli con carne and as a garnish for nachos. You often find this pepper in glass jars or in cans, but of course, these are not fresh. The Jalapeño of Westlandpeppers has that real fresh, crunchy experience.
