Jalapenos hot commodity in new Burger King sandwich

Jalapenos play a pivotal role in Burger King’s new Angry Whopper.

The Angry Whopper sandwich — which features produce ingredients iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, onion petals and jalapenos — will be available while supplies last, the fast food giant said in a March 30 news release.

The flame-grilled beef sandwiches are being served on a “fiery red bun that has hot sauce baked in,” according to the release.

A Burger King spokesperson, in a March 30 e-mail, declined to reveal the company’s fresh produce suppliers.

The sandwich’s other ingredients include American cheese, bacon, mayonnaise and “spicy angry sauce,” according to the release.

The sandwich is a meal in itself at 830 calories and 51 grams of fat, according to product information on Burger King’s website.

This is not the first time Burger King has featured a sandwich in a colored bun. The restaurant chain in fall 2015 introduced a Halloween Whopper sandwich with Kraft’s A1 sauce baked into a “pitch-black bun,” according to the release.
