What happens when you leave jalapeño peppers on their vine to mature further? They turn fiery red and in addition, a few notches higher on the spicy scoville scale! Red jalapeños are infact, the base used in Sriracha (and many more) hot sauces. Tried them yet?
Health: Jalapeños are rich in vitamins A and C and potassium. They are also rich in carotene - an antioxidant that may help fight damage to your cells – as well as folate, vitamin K, and B vitamins. Many of their health benefits come from a compound called capsaicin. Red jalapenos are higher in capsaicin content than green ones, as they are left to mature longer.
