What it is
Green chile puree is a smooth paste made from cooked green chiles, which are a type of pepper. The chiles are typically roasted or steamed to soften them before being pureed. This process helps to develop their flavor and make them easier to incorporate into recipes.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use green chile puree to add a mild to moderate heat and a distinct vegetal flavor to foods. It is commonly found in Mexican and Southwestern dishes, as well as in sauces, soups, and frozen appetizers. Its smooth texture also helps to thicken and bind ingredients.
Health notes
Green chile puree is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamins and antioxidants, though amounts vary. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated capsaicinoids, the compounds that give chiles their heat, and have established safety guidelines. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels in food.
Allergen info
Green chile puree is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
