Jalapeño seasoning salt

Jalapeño seasoning salt is a mixture of sea salt or common salt infused with dehydrated jalapeño pepper powder or pieces, an ingredient that adds a spicy touch and a characteristic flavor to dishes. This seasoning is used to enhance the flavor of meats, vegetables, snacks, and appetizers, providing a balance between saltiness and the moderate spiciness of the jalapeño.

Origin: The jalapeño is a chili pepper native to Mexico, where it has been cultivated and used in traditional cuisine for centuries. The combination of salt with jalapeño chili emerged as an innovation to facilitate the incorporation of the chili's flavor into different culinary preparations, especially in Mexican and Latin American cuisine.

Properties: In addition to providing flavor, jalapeño seasoning salt can offer a mild contribution of capsaicin, the compound responsible for the spiciness, which is associated with beneficial effects for circulation and metabolism. It contains sodium due to the salt, so it should be used in moderation. It is a versatile seasoning that allows for flavoring without the need to use sauces or fresh chilies.
