Jalapeno peppers are hot, tangy peppers that add flavor and bite to a variety of dishes. Nutritionally, jalapeno peppers are rich in vitamin C and provide calcium, iron and vitamin A. Drying is an effective way to preserve the color, flavor and nutritional value of the peppers. Rehydrate the dried jalapenos for use in cooked dishes by soaking them in hot water, or grind them in a blender to make chili powder.
