Chipotle In Adobo Puree

Chipotle in adobo puree is a smoky, spicy paste made from dried, smoked jalapeño peppers (chipotles) that are rehydrated and blended with a sauce called adobo. The adobo sauce typically contains vinegar, tomato paste, garlic, and spices, which help preserve the peppers and add depth of flavor.

Manufacturers use chipotle in adobo puree to add a distinct smoky heat and complex flavor to a wide range of foods. It is commonly found in sauces, marinades, dips, and as a seasoning for meats, vegetables, and snacks, particularly in Mexican and Latin American-inspired dishes.

Chipotle peppers and the ingredients in adobo sauce are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food ingredients. The capsaicin in chili peppers, responsible for their heat, is being studied for potential health effects, but typical dietary intake from foods like this puree is not associated with adverse health outcomes. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated various food additives used in adobo sauce.
