Whole Dried Chipotle Chili Pepper 1 oz

Brown chipotle chilies (Capsicum Annuum) are made from the jalapeno pepper. Jalapeno chilies are smoked to dry them. There are many different beliefs regarding the difference between brown and morita chipotles. One understanding is that the brown chipotles are the green jalapenos and the moritas are the red, fully mature Chipotles. These peppers are about 1-1/2 to 3 inches in length with long, vein-like ridges and a deep red color. Consider the Chipotle a 4 on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the hottest).
