What it is

Chipotle peppers are mature jalapeños that have been dried and smoked. The word 'chipotle' comes from the Nahuatl word 'chilpoctli,' meaning 'smoked chili.' They are typically grown in Mexico and the southwestern United States.

Why it's used

Chipotle peppers are used to add a smoky, spicy flavor to foods. They are often found in hot sauces, marinades, spice rubs, and as a seasoning for snacks and meats. Their intense flavor makes them a popular choice for adding depth to various dishes.

Health notes

Chipotle pepper is a food ingredient and not subject to FDA approval as a food additive. The FDA considers it Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) when used as a flavoring. Capsaicin, the compound that gives chili peppers their heat, has been studied for various health effects, but research is ongoing and not conclusive. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated capsaicinoids, but have not set specific limits for chipotle pepper itself.

Allergen info

Chipotle pepper is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
