Organic Chipotle Chile

Organic chipotle chile is a ripened jalapeño pepper that has been smoked and dried. The smoking process gives it a distinct smoky flavor and aroma. It is often ground into a powder or used whole in cooking.

Manufacturers use organic chipotle chile to add a smoky, spicy flavor to foods. It is commonly found in barbecue sauces, marinades, salsas, dips, and spice blends.

Organic chipotle chile is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of capsaicin, the compound that gives chili peppers their heat, which may have some health benefits. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated capsaicinoids, but no specific health claims are made for chipotle chile itself at typical consumption levels.
