AAA - Chipotle Morita Pepper Flakes

Magic Plant Chipotle Morita Pepper Flakes

The Gourmet Smoky Standard—Deep Earthy Flavor with a Smooth, Lingering Heat.

Overview

Our natural Chipotle Morita packs a delicious, moderate heat at 5,000 to 10,000 (SHUs). Unlike raw peppers, the Morita features a classic "lingering warmth" that is deeply aromatic. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex sweet, fruity, and chocolatey flavor! Our Chipotle Morita ground pepper, crushed flakes, and dry whole pods are medium-hot (spicy) so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the smokiness is intense and savory, so start with a small taste test to gauge your preferred flavor and heat balance.

The Chipotle Morita is a red-ripe Jalapeño that has been smoke-dried for a shorter period than the Meco variety, resulting in its distinct dark color and softer texture. Deep Smoke and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, these peppers are hand-picked at peak ripeness to ensure a high sugar content, which caramelizes during the smoking process to give them their iconic "Morita" or little mulberry appearance and flavor profile.

The Experience

Chipotle Moritas are known to be a favorite among BBQ pitmasters and gourmet chefs! So why eat it? Like most chili peppers, in certain amounts the sensation can be quite pleasing and causes the release of endorphins in the brain, which make you feel pleasure. Studies suggest that Capsaicin may have certain health benefits, such as pain relief, improved digestion, and potential metabolism-boosting effects. Eat with caution but enjoy the complex smoky flavor provided by Magic Plant Farms' chipotles. Use our premium quality dry chili pepper products once and you’ll be hooked forever! This pepper is perfect in medium doses for a specific smoky kick in stews, sauces, soups, and salsas. For the brave of heart, just add more directly on top!

Looking for a Custom Blend?

Balance the heat: If you love the smoky flavor of the Chipotle Morita but want to kick up the heat, you can mix our flakes with our hotter varieties like the Red Carolina Reaper or Ghost Pepper. Conversely, for a milder experience with even more sweetness, mix these flakes with our Red Poblano Mulato Pepper or Red Cascabel Pepper. This allows you to achieve that perfect wood-fired aroma without overwhelming your palate.
