What it is

Chipotle peppers are mature red jalapeños that have been smoked and dried. This process gives them a distinctive smoky flavor and a chewy texture. They are often rehydrated or used in powdered form.

Why it's used

Chipotle peppers are used to add a smoky, spicy flavor to a wide variety of foods. They are common in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine, appearing in sauces, marinades, spice rubs, and prepared meals like sandwiches and wraps.

Health notes

Chipotle peppers are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They contain capsaicin, the compound that gives chili peppers their heat, which may have some antioxidant properties. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated capsaicinoids, but no specific numeric limits are typically set for whole chili peppers as a food ingredient.
