Rich in vitamins A and C, with properties which aid digestion, and coming in more than 60 varieties, the pepper is surely the gem of Mexican cuisine – especially the jalapeño pepper, its ‘trademark’ worldwide.
La Costeña’s piquant green jalapeño peppers, whole or sliced and pickled and available in either consumer or professional packages, or the very hot chipotle peppers which are smoked ripe jalapeño peppers, both give an exciting flavour to sandwiches, meat, chicken or shrimp stews, fish and meat soups and salads.
TIP: serve the jalapeño peppers, sliced, with melted gruyère or cheddar cheese, on corn chips or homemade pizza.
