Shenandoah Growers, Rockingham, Va., has a spicy addition to its That’s Tasty brand line of organic stir-in purées — jalapeño pepper.
The purée eliminates chopping and de-seeding the peppers, and the risk of spreading the heat of the pepper from the hands to face or eyes, according to a news release. The purée lasts four weeks in a refrigerator after opening, longer than whole jalapeños, according to the company.
“Versatility is another advantage of the new purée,” according to the release. “With virtually limitless possibilities, it can be used to flavor fresh salsa and guacamole, mix with mayo or ranch for a spicy sandwich spread, or in a marinade or sauce for proteins and vegetables. It can also make a margarita spicy and irresistible.”
The purées began appearing in produce departments at stores Jan. 20, making it available for Super Bowl party dishes.
The organic jalapeño joins nine other options in the organic purée line, including ginger, basil and garlic, and other peppers are planned, according to the Shenandoah Growers website.
