Amazon Grocery, Diced Jalapeños, Hot, 4 Oz (Previously Amazon Fresh, Packaging May Vary)

I was pleasantly surprised. I was not anticipating something so good. But "so good" needs to be qualified. The reason it need to be qualified is because if you just open the can and eat them, it is underwhelming: there is no salt added, no vinegar added. So it is like eating crushed green lightly cooked mass. So what is good about them: 1. they have been tamed. I would take a mouthful, and the heat is there, but at a point where it is pleasant. It is nice to chase it down with milk or cheese, but not necessary. For comparison, if I take a plain fresh jalapeno, I absolutely need a chaser. 2. they are juiced up. Unlike eating a fresh chili, these are already juicy. If you want to juice up a fresh jalapeno, you need to cook it first. Here, it is ready to go. 3. There is no salt or vinegar. So it is a taste bomb, ready to explode, just waiting for salt and vinegar to "touch" it. The good thing you can control how much salt. To me this is very important. 4. They feel very fresh, and have good texture, and they look inviting to take a bite. 5. It has some citric acid, but it does not show up in taste. Overall, it is so convenient and good. And the cost is pretty good, compared to similar products.

A must have in my pantry

Great addition when a little heat is desired in your recipe! Perfect sized can, as it was under 50 calories and while not as good as fresh, they were a high quality substitute. The can arrived in great condition with plenty of time to use by the best by date, so it was likely freshly canned.

Tasty. Exactly what I needed for my recipe.

These were very very mild peppers, finely chopped. Great taste. Very good for hot dogs, salads, deviled eggs and such. Crisp.

These really come in handy when you don't have fresh chili for nachos or carnitas

Well I was hopeful but while they were spicy and looked good, the flavor just seemed off.

You don't have any fresh jalapenos in the fridge right now? Excellent for a substitution unless you need WHOLE or HALF jalapenos. I'm a HEAT FREAK in my cooking - so these get used all the time!
