Chile Chipotle Chili Pods

What Are Chipotle Peppers?

Chipotle peppers are smoke-dried jalapeños — one of Mexico's most beloved chile varieties. When ripe red jalapeños are slowly smoked over wood for days, they transform into wrinkled, mahogany-colored pods with a deep, complex flavor that's equal parts smoky, earthy, and mildly spicy. The result is a chile that adds rich, layered heat to any dish without overwhelming the palate.

Our Homegrown Chile Chipotle Pods

These chipotle pods are homegrown with care — no shortcuts, no mass production. Each pod is hand-selected at peak ripeness and traditionally smoke-dried to preserve the full depth of flavor. Whether you're rehydrating them for a slow-cooked adobo, grinding them into a smoky powder, or infusing them into your next hot sauce, these pods deliver authentic, bold character in every batch.
