Chipotle pepper
Chipotle pepper is a type of dried chili known for its smoky and spicy flavor. It is native to Mexico, where it has been cultivated and used in cooking for centuries. Chipotles are obtained from ripe jalapeño chilies that are smoked and dried, giving them their distinctive smoky flavor. They have a characteristic smoky and spicy flavor, with a moderate to high level of spiciness, depending on how long they were allowed to mature before being smoked and dried. Chipotle peppers are commonly used in Mexican cuisine and have become popular in many other culinary traditions around the world. On the Scoville Heat Units (SHU) scale, their spiciness level typically ranges between 5,000 and 10,000 SHU.
