The jalapeno is one of the world’s most popular peppers, and a long-time favorite way to add a bit of spice to a meal. Though native to South America, it has become beloved throughout the world and cemented in the culinary traditions of many countries.
Jalapeno is not just delicious, but also a great source of vitamins and minerals. A single 100 gram serving of the peppers gives you fully 143% of your daily recommended intake of vitamin C. At the same time, it contains 32% of your daily recommended vitamin B6, 24% of your vitamin E, and 18% of your vitamin K. It also gives you a modest serving of vitamin A, potassium, niacin, thiamine, riboflavin, and folate, along with trace amounts of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, and iron.
You can get more of the great taste and superior nutritional value of jalapenos at our Bellevue Japanese restaurant in the form of our jalapeno hamachi roll, our firecracker roll, and our hamachi carpaccio. Try it out today at Flo Restaurant!
