Red Jalapeño chili powder is made from the ripe, red variety of the Jalapeño pepper. Unlike the green version, the red Jalapeño is fruitier, sweeter, and has a fuller, more developed flavor. The result is a beautiful red spice with a bold aroma and a pleasant heat of around 10,000 SHU.
If you enjoy using ground paprika, try swapping it out for this chili powder to add more depth. It works well in sauces, salsas, minced meat dishes, and goulash. It pairs beautifully with chicken and fits perfectly in Mexican cuisine. Although it's low on the Scoville scale, it can still be quite spicy for some.
Fun fact: the Jalapeño was the first chili pepper in space! In 1982, a crew member of the Columbia Space Shuttle took one aboard – a testament to how iconic this pepper really is.
