History and growing traditions

Chipotle comes from ripe jalapeños that are smoke-dried, a Mexican preservation method that gives the peppers their distinctive smoky character. Morita and Meco are names used for different chipotle styles. Mexican cooks use chipotle in salsas, marinades, and stews; the smoking and drying method helped the pepper become a shelf-stable seasoning beyond its harvest season.

This product contains whole dried peppers, which can be rehydrated for sauces and stews. This history describes the pepper variety, not the verified growing origin of this batch.
