Red jalapeño peppers (pronounced hah lah pen yo) are native to Mexico. These peppers are medium spicy. Jalapeño peppers are cone-shaped. The jalapeño is the pepper you need if you want a dish a little spicier than with the regular red pepper; jalapeño also has a slightly savoury taste. In this seasoning you can clearly taste that peppers are related to the paprika. The red jalapeño has a slightly sharper flavour than the green one, which has a slightly bitter taste. So if you really want to give your dish some flavour and you like a little spice in your food, try this one.
