Colorado Chile Peppers are Hot! Hot! Hot!
LAKEWOOD, Colo. – Each month, the Colorado Department of Agriculture features a different commodity to highlight the variety and quality of products grown, raised or processed in the state. This month, Colorado chile peppers are featured in our Rocky Mountain Jalapeño Jelly recipe.
Available Now...Chile PeppersColorado is known for producing a variety of chile peppers, and now is the time to enjoy them roasted or fresh! Chile peppers should be smooth, shiny, well-colored and firm. Avoid peppers that appear shriveled or decayed. Jalapeños are low in fat, sodium free and are a good source of Vitamins A and C. Look for fresh and roasted Colorado chile peppers at your local grocery store, farmers' market or at restaurants across the state.
