What it is
Chipotle pepper puree is made from ripe jalapeño peppers that have been smoked and dried to create chipotle peppers. These dried peppers are then rehydrated and pureed, often with other ingredients like vinegar, salt, and spices, to create a smooth paste.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add chipotle pepper puree to provide a smoky, spicy flavor and a deep red color. It is commonly found in sauces, marinades, dips, salsas, and processed meats, adding a distinctive Southwestern taste.
Health notes
Chipotle pepper puree is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. Peppers contain capsaicin, which may have some antioxidant properties. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated capsaicinoids, but no specific health claims are associated with typical dietary intake of chipotle puree.
Allergen info
Chipotle pepper puree is not derived from any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
