Chili Chipotle Powder

Chipotle peppers are smoked, dired Jalapeños. Widely used in Mexican cuisine as garnish or condiment, adds a spicy and smoky flavour to any dish. Chipotles are as hot as typical jalapeño peppers, which range from 2,500 to 8,000 units on the Scoville scale. Their unique sweet and smoky flavour has tones of chocolate and tobacco with a consistent, deep and subtle spiciness. Chipotles date back to the time of the Aztecs, who smoked peppers as a method of preservative mesaure. The name comes from the Nahuatl word chīlpoctli which means "smoked chili". A chipotle chile is a dry smoked jalapeño. Jalapeños are kept in the bush as long as possible and when they have a deep red color and have lost much of their moisture, they are picked and smoked for days with wood until they are dry, turning them into chipotle peppers. It takes about 10 kilos of jalapeños to obtain one kilo of chipotle peppers. How to apply it: Chipotles have a smoky flavor and also give that spicy flavor to any dish you cook. They are good to mix with other spices or salts, in soups, sauces, meat and fish, or you can rehydrate them and process them into a wonderful marinade.
