What it is

Chipotle puree is made from smoked, dried jalapeño peppers. The peppers are rehydrated and then blended into a smooth paste. This process gives them a smoky flavor and a deep red color.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use chipotle puree to add a distinct smoky and spicy flavor to foods. It is commonly found in sauces, marinades, dips, and processed meats. Its intense flavor means a small amount can significantly enhance a product's taste profile.

Health notes

Chipotle puree is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is primarily a source of capsaicin, the compound that gives chili peppers their heat. While capsaicin has been studied for various health effects, typical dietary intake from foods like chipotle puree is not associated with significant adverse health outcomes. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated capsaicinoids, but no specific limits are set for chipotle puree itself.

Allergen info

Chipotle puree is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
