What it is

Chipotle spices are a blend of dried, smoked jalapeño peppers and other seasonings. The jalapeños are smoked over wood, which gives them their characteristic smoky flavor and aroma. The specific blend can vary but often includes garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin.

Why it's used

Health notes

Chipotle spices are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. The capsaicin in chili peppers, the source of the heat, has been studied for various effects. Some research suggests potential benefits related to metabolism and pain relief, but more studies are needed. JECFA has evaluated capsaicin and established an acceptable daily intake. Evidence is mixed on whether high intake of spicy foods may trigger digestive issues in some individuals.
