Pickled Jalapeños

Pickled jalapeños are immature green chili peppers that have been preserved in a brine solution, typically consisting of vinegar, water, salt, and spices. Originating from Mexico, these peppers are named after the city of Xalapa, where they have been cultivated for centuries. Their flavor is a vibrant balance of heat, tanginess, and a slight vegetal freshness, with a pleasant aromatic kick. The texture is crisp and firm, offering a satisfying crunch with each bite. In cooking, pickled jalapeños add a zesty punch to dishes, contributing both a spicy kick and a tangy flavor that complements a wide range of foods, from tacos to Bloody Marys.
