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.

Red Jalapeño Chili Powder is made from fully ripened jalapeño peppers that turn deep red. This ripening process gives the powder a fuller, slightly sweet flavor compared to the green variety.
At around 10,000 Scoville Heat Units, it has a mild to medium heat. It is hotter than the green jalapeño but less intense than hot peppers like habanero or cayenne.
This powder is perfect for tacos, chili (con or sin carne), pizzas, stews, BBQ rubs, and marinades. Sprinkle it over grilled vegetables or mix it into mayonnaise for a spicy dip.
Chipotle is made from smoked, red jalapeño peppers, giving it a deep, smoky flavor. Red Jalapeño Chili Powder is not smoked and retains a fresh, pure, and slightly sweet taste.
It comes in a sturdy, resealable 10 g package for optimal freshness and easy dosing.
You can substitute red jalapeño powder with chipotle powder for a smoky flavor, ancho chili powder for a milder and sweeter taste, or cayenne pepper for more heat.
