Pickled Jalapeños are thinly sliced jalapeño peppers preserved in a vinegar brine and commonly used in Mexican and Tex‑Mex cooking as a spicy condiment or topping. They add bright heat and acidity to tacos, sandwiches, salads and sauces and are sold both jarred and from deli bars.
Nutritionally, Pickled Jalapeños are low in calories and remarkably rich in vitamin C, providing about 118mg per 100g, along with some fiber and a little protein. Because they are pickled, they can also be fairly high in sodium, so lower-salt options or rinsing before use are easy ways to reduce salt.
Overall they’re a nutrient-dense way to add flavor and a spicy kick to dishes—offering vitamins and fiber with minimal calories—while choosing low‑sodium preparations preserves their benefits without excess salt.
