Jalapeños are medium-sized chilli peppers originating from Mexico. They have a moderate heat level, typically ranging between 2,500 to 8,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). They are known for their bright, grassy flavor with a mild to moderate spice and are often used fresh, pickled, or cooked in various dishes.
