Jalapeño peppers are originally from Mexico and Central America. It is a spicy pepper that is used for pickling, salads, salsas and stuffing. Not as hot as many of its family members like the serrano pepper or the habanero, but it still packs a punch. Jalapeños are a staple in the Mexican and Central American diets and has grown in America in popularity. Smoked jalapeños are known as Chipotle Peppers.
