I keep more than one dried chile going in my kitchen, and they each do a different job. Growing up in New Mexico teaches you that. The Hatch green chile goes in stew and enchiladas. This jalapeño goes where I actually want jalapeño — taco meat, a pot of chili, a dry rub for ribs. They are not interchangeable, and a lot of people buy one expecting it to do the work of the other. What this one gets right is that it still tastes like the pepper it came from. Open the jar and you get that bright, green, slightly grassy jalapeño smell, clean heat with none of the dusty, stale note that ruins most dried pepper. The grind is fine, so it works into taco meat or a rub without leaving gritty specks. The heat is moderate, and that is the one thing to know before you buy. If you are chasing real fire, this will not get you there on its own — I keep a hotter powder on the shelf for that and reach for it when a dish needs to bite back. For everyday cooking, moderate is exactly what you want, because it lets the jalapeño flavor come through instead of just scorching everything. Eight weeks in, the jar still smells as bright as the day I opened it, which is more than I can say for the grocery-store jalapeño powder I used to buy in little jars that went flat by the time I finished them. Clean flavor, useful heat. If you cook with dried peppers and you know the difference between a jalapeño and a green chile, this is the jalapeño.

I usually dry my own and powder it myself since jalapeño powder is almost impossible for me to find. The price may seem steep to some, but please remember this is a full pound(!) of powder! While drying my own would be my first choice, since I don’t live alone, this makes my life much easier! My SO cannot tolerate the smell of drying jalapeños, (it is incredibly strong) and I also avoid the inevitable asthma attack while grinding. I use this mainly in sausage making. I’ve tried chipotle powder, but the fruitiness of the unsmoked pepper is so much better. My order came quickly and was well packaged. All in all, I will be going back to this company for my spice needs before trying anywhere else!

The family tried this jalapeño powder on their meal and loved it.

Very storng taste heat level is a nice quality, and the powder is very well mixed.

My wife was looking for ways to make up her own spices. Namely Webers Jalapeño Garlic seasoning, one of our favorite. She dried and ground up jalapeño peppers to start with. Once she tried your already powdered seasonings, we found them to be good quality and a great shortcut to making up her formula. After adding other seasonings we came up with a close replica if not actually better than Webers Jalapeño Garlic seasoning. Great product.

Love having this spice on hand. I rarely buy the Jalapeno peppers to have on hand, dont use them all and wind up having to throw them away. This is a very spicy ground pepper. the smell is wonderful but use caution, the heat is also wonderful

This is an amazing product. It smells exactly like jalapenos and tastes excellent. I am buying this again, and have already done so. I would suggest this to anyone who wants the best taste, the best smell, and the best heat for the jalapeno flavor that you're looking for.

I have been adding this to a Sam’s Club soft refrigerator cheese. Makes a great dip.
