Magic Plant Chipotle Morita Pepper Powder
The Smoky Heart of Mexican Cuisine—Deep Flavor with a Mellow, Sweet Heat.
Overview
Our natural Chipotle Morita packs a manageable and savory heat at 5,000 to 10,000 (SHUs). Our Moritas have a classic "lingering warmth." The flavor develops with every bite. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex smoky and sweet chocolate-like flavor! Our Chipotle Morita ground powder, crushed flakes, and dry whole pods are medium-hot (spicy), so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the smokiness is bold, but you should still start with a small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.
The Chipotle Morita is a red-ripened jalapeño that has been slowly smoked over wood fires, resulting in its dark color and intense flavor level. Satisfying Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Chipotle Morita peppers have a distinctive appearance with a shriveled, dark purple-to-black color. They are often characterized by their deep, leathery texture, giving them a "morita" or little mulberry-like appearance.

The Experience
Chipotle Moritas are known to be a staple in gourmet Mexican cooking! 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' moritas. Use our premium quality dry chili pepper products once and you’ll be hooked forever! This pepper is perfect in moderate doses for a specific smoky kick in stews, sauces, soups, and salsas. For those who love a rustic, bold flavor, just add more directly on top!
Need More Heat?
Boost the profile: If you love the smoky flavor of the Chipotle Morita but desire a higher heat level, you can mix our ground powder with our hotter peppers like our Red Carolina Reaper or Ghost Pepper. This will give you the intense fire of the world’s hottest peppers while maintaining the deep, wood-smoked essence of the Morita.
