What it is

Chipotle peppers are mature red jalapeños that have been dried and smoked. The term 'chipotle' comes from the Nahuatl word 'chilpoctli,' meaning 'smoked chili.' They are used whole, powdered, or as a base for sauces and marinades.

Why it's used

Chipotle peppers add a smoky, spicy flavor to foods. They are commonly used in barbecue sauces, marinades, spice rubs, salsas, and chili powders. Their distinctive taste makes them a popular ingredient for adding depth and heat.

Health notes

Chipotle peppers are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. They contain capsaicin, the compound responsible for chili pepper heat, which has been studied for various health effects. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated capsaicinoids. While some research suggests potential benefits, such as effects on metabolism, evidence is still developing and intake from food is typically low.

Allergen info

Chipotle peppers are not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
