Jalapeno Powder, Capsicum annuum, is a mild- to medium-heat chile powder that delivers 2,500-8,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). Made from dried green jalapenos, it is also called ground jalapeno pepper or dried jalapeno powder.

Jalapeno Powder is versatile and can be used in a wide range of dishes. Because it is relatively mild, it can serve as a unique substitute for black pepper. Jalapeno Powder delivers more heat and punctuates a dish with distinct, bright flavor.

Business who frequently purchase Jalapeno Powder are American, seafood, BBQ, and chili restaurants; delis; bar & grills; butchers; independent spice shops; olive oil shops; seasoning companies; and companies that manufacture sausage, salsa, and edible insects.

We also have Jalapeno Flakes and Organic Green Jalapeno Chile Powder available.
