Chilis, Ground Chipotle

A mild, smoky, powdered chili that is perfect for salsas, meat rubs, marinades, and chili sauces. Chipolte chilis are Jalapeño chili peppers that are allowed to fully ripen and then are smoked dry, usually over mesquite wood, for several days. The result of this process yields a chili that lends a mildly hot and earthy spiciness to dishes. Chipotle powder is best stored in the refrigerator to retain color and flavor. About 40,000 heat on the Scoville scale. We highly recommend trying a chipotle salt rub or some chipotle butter with your summer grilling! For a salt rub, we suggest a two to one salt to chipotle ratio (try this with our French grey salt!). For chipotle butter, simply combine chipotle powder with melted butter and a little bit of lime juice. Allow the butter to cool and reharden, and then use on seafood or grilled corn!
