Product Description
Chipotle Meco chiles are a premium ingredient widely used in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisines. Known for their unique smoky flavor, these smoked jalapenos elevate a variety of dishes, making them a favorite among culinary enthusiasts.
Chipotles are derived from the jalapeno pepper, scientifically classified as Capsicum annuum. The Meco variety is distinct, characterized by its larger size and grayish-tan coloring, resembling a cigar butt. These peppers are harvested later than standard jalapenos, allowing them to mature fully on the bush. This extended growth period enhances their color and flavor, resulting in a rich, smoky taste that is deeper than that of common red jalapenos. Chipotle Meco chiles are smoked for a longer duration compared to Moritas, contributing to their intense flavor profile.
Key Features:- Premium Chipotle Meco chiles, ideal for authentic Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes.
- Smoked for extended periods to achieve a rich, smoky flavor.
- Medium heat level, ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 SHU (Scoville Heat Units).
