AAA - Chipotle Morita Pepper Whole Dried Pods

Magic Plant Chipotle Morita Peppers Whole Dried Pods

The Smoky Heartland of Mexican Cuisine—Deep Flavor with a Mellow Kick.

Overview

Our natural Chipotle Morita packs a smooth, manageable heat at 5,000 to 10,000 (SHUs). Unlike the intense "creeper" peppers, the Morita provides a steady, comforting warmth that is a staple in professional kitchens. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex smoky, sweet, and almost chocolate-like flavor! Our Chipotle Morita ground pepper, crushed flakes, and dry whole pods are medium-low heat (spicy), so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the flavor is bold and earthy, so start with a small taste test to gauge how the smokiness complements your dish.

The Chipotle Morita is a red-ripened jalapeño that has been smoked for a shorter period than the Meco variety, resulting in its softer texture and fruitier undertones. Rich Flavor and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, these peppers have a distinctive appearance with a wrinkled, dark purple-to-black color. They are often characterized by their leathery skin and intense aroma, giving them a "morita" (little mulberry) appearance.

Technical Specifications

The Experience

Chipotle Moritas are known to be the favorite among BBQ enthusiasts and authentic Mexican 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 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 whole form for a specific aromatic kick in stews, sauces, soups, and salsas. For a bolder smoky profile, just add more directly to the pot!

Too Smoky?

Balance the heat: If you want to brighten the deep notes of the Chipotle Morita, you can mix our dry pods or flakes with our fruitier peppers like our Red Habanero or our sweet dried peppers (Green Ancho Peppers, Red Cascabel Pepper, Red Poblano Mulato Pepper). This will give you a balanced profile of smoke and bright sweetness without overwhelming the palate.
