Can macaws eat jalapenos?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Disclaimer: I don't know how good jalapenos are for macaws, or any other bird specifically. What I do know is that birds seem to lack the capsaicin receptor; birds which eat peppers will happily consume habaneros or scotch bonnets with no ill effects.

Where did jalapeno jelly originate?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

jellies come in many different forms.

Gelatine (called jello in America) is a naturally occurring substance originally from pigs feet with an added fruit flavour.

Jelly preserve AKA Jam: is sugar, pectin (from apples) and fruit.

Both have their origins in Europe in the dark ages, so we don't really know where they come from.

Are jalapenos still hot without seeds?

As jalapenos and other green chiles ripen on the plant, they usually gradually change from green to red. Red ripe jalapenos have a slightly different flavor than green ones, but most people find them even better because they get a more complex flavor. You don't see many red jalapenos at regular super markets because they are usually shipped very green to make them have a longer shelf life and bruise less during shipping. The flesh of very ripe jalapenos can be a little thinner than green ones, so they may not be as good for stuffing as green ones are. They can substute for each other in most recipes. If you have heard of chipotle chiles (pronounced "chip-OAT-lay", they are ripe red jalapenos that have been dried and smoked and then often canned in adobo sauce, but you can also find them in their dried state without sauces.

Is this how you spell jalapeno?

In an English spelling bee, you would say j-a-l-a-p-e-n-o because the tilde N (ñ) has no name in English and is considered punctuation of the loanword.

In Spanish, the ñ has a separate name (enye, pronounced ayn-yay), but of course all the other letters are pronounced differently as well.

La palabra jalapeño se escribe (hablado) "jota-ah-ele-ah-peh-eh-enye-oh."

(hoh-tah, ah, ay-lay, ah, pay, ay, ayn-yay, oh)

Very little, mostly in the form of oil, the same thing that makes it hot. A 73 gram pepper has .1 grams of fat, or about .1% of the recommended daily intake.

Can you get sick eating bad jalapenos?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I did some research on a few websites, and while a few say that it is bad for the baby, many say that there are no side effects. Quite a few forums that have been populated by pregnant women state that they all craved jalapenos during pregnancy, however none of them experienced any ill symptoms or problems. I would suggest talking to your doctor first.

What makes jalapenos spicy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The substance that gives chile peppers their intensity when ingested or applied topically is capsaicin (8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide) and several related chemicals, collectively called capsaicinoids. Capsaicin is the primary ingredient in pepper spray.

When consumed, capsaicinoids bind with pain receptors in the mouth and throat that are normally responsible for sensing heat. Once activated by the capsaicinoids, these receptors send a message to the brain that the tissue has experienced heat. The brain responds to the burning sensation by raising the heart rate, increasing perspiration and releasing the body's natural painkilling chemical, endorphin.

The intensity of the heat in a chile is measured in Scoville units.

Is pH responsible for the hotness of a jalapeno?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, not at all. Acidity makes things taste sour, not hot. The heat of a jalapeno pepper comes from a different chemical entirely, which is called capsaicin.
