What it is

Organic chipotle powder is made from dried, smoked jalapeño peppers. The peppers are smoked over wood, then dried and ground into a fine powder. It has a smoky, spicy flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic chipotle powder to add a smoky heat and distinct flavor to foods. It is commonly found in spice blends, rubs, marinades, sauces, dips, and snacks.

Health notes

Organic chipotle powder 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. Some research suggests capsaicin may have antioxidant properties. JECFA has evaluated capsaicinoids, including those found in chili peppers, and established guidance on their use.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. It is derived from peppers, which are not among the FDA's nine major food allergens.
