We are constantly on the lookout for top quality products to add to our Organic line and were particularly excited when one of our suppliers came up with one that meets our high quality standards.
Chipotle peppers are native to Mexico and have become practically the most well known hot pepper in the US with our fairly recent infatuation with “chilies”. Chilies while most often thought of for their hot spiciness but some varieties may also be a bit mild while adding a subtle spiced flavor to many dishes when used in correct amounts. Chipotles are actually completely ripened and then smoked dried jalapenos. For every 1 lb. of Chipotles 10 pounds of fresh jalapenos were used. The end result is a dark brown to black colored, shriveled chile pepper that has a smoky and almost sweet chocolaty flavor and aroma. These peppers also have a bit of a kick to them as they register a 7-8 on the heat scale (with 10 being the hottest). Like our non-organic Chipotle Powder this one is also harvested in US. Chipotle powder is a a favorite of both BBQ aficionados’ as well as hard core chile heads. The chipotle’s smoky hot flavor is an ideal addition to anything barbequed and works well in various marinades, rubs, sauces, Bloody Marys, all kinds of meats and vegetables. Some of our favorite recipes with chipotle powder are Homemade Chipotle Salsa, Smokey Chicken Enchiladas, Chipotle Wings Sauce or Cincinnati Chili. You can also make your own Chipotle Adobo Sauce by adding 1 teaspoon of Chipotle powder to 1/4 cup of ketchup or steak sauce. We also carry a Dried Chipotle Chiles as well as a full selection of other chiles and chile powders such as Ancho, Pasilla, Habanero, Ground Serrano, Guajillo and de Arbol. You can also find an increasing selection on organic chiles including - Organic Paprika, Organic Cayenne Pepper and Organic Red Pepper Flakes.  |
