Chipotle Morita Chili Powder

Chipotle Morita Chili Powder is ground from smoked, ripe red jalapenos peppers. These jalapenos are squeezed of their moisture in a sealed chamber over a period of days, in which their heat is blended with the smoke’s flavor. 10 lbs of jalapenos yields just 1 lb of chipotle. Moritas are lightly smoked, resulting in a softer texture and a unique fruity, smoky taste with a mild to moderate spiciness rating of 5,000-8,000 Scoville Heat Units (5-6 on a heat scale of 1-10).
