Chipotle Pepper, Ground

Mexico. Sterilized. Chipotle is smoke-dried ripe jalapeno, ground to a coarse powder with medium heat (5,000–10,000 SHU) and deep, woody smokiness. It gives barbecue rubs, chili, salsas, mayonnaise, and snack seasonings a smoky depth that paprika alone cannot. Chipotle powder is made from smoke-dried jalapeño peppers, delivering a bold combination of moderate heat and deep, smoky sweetness that sets it apart from other chili powders. It lends rich complexity to rubs, marinades, sauces, soups, and grilled meats. Restaurants, food manufacturers, and BBQ product producers purchase it in bulk for its consistent heat level and distinctive smoky character.
