What it is
Chipotle chili pepper powder is made from dried, smoked jalapeño peppers. The peppers are smoked over wood fires, which gives them their characteristic smoky flavor and aroma. The dried peppers are then ground into a fine powder.
Why it's used
This powder is used to add a smoky, spicy flavor to a wide variety of foods. It is commonly found in savory snacks, sauces, marinades, rubs, and spice blends. Manufacturers use it to enhance the taste profile of products like chips, dips, and processed meats.
Health notes
Chipotle chili pepper powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of capsaicin, the compound that gives chili peppers their heat and may have some antioxidant properties. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated chili peppers and their extracts. Evidence on the health effects of capsaicin is mixed, with some studies suggesting potential benefits for metabolism and pain relief, while others note it can cause digestive upset in some individuals.
Allergen info
Chipotle chili pepper powder is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
