Yes Jalapeno peppers do contain quite a bit more Vitamin C than your average orange so you'll get more Vitamin C intake by eating Jalapenos instead of oranges.

Still oranges are very healthy for you too and eating too many Jalapenos can be bad for you and damage your stomach lining causing Ulcers.

The average Jalapeno contains around 17 MG of Vitamin C which is more Vitamin C than an orange has.

Jalapenos can also prevent cancer and fight off free radicals.

Jalapeno peppers also contain a chemical known as capsaicin which helps to fight off cancer, aid in weight loss, burn belly fat, burn off fat, helps with arthritis and Nasal congestion.

When you're congested and can't hardly breathe through your nose eating some Jalapeno peppers can help relieve the congestion.
