Dried Chipotle Chiles
Deep, woody smoke with a moderate, lingering heat.
India Tree Dried Chipotle Chiles are vine-ripened jalapeños that have been slow-smoked over open fires until fully dehydrated. This process transforms the bright heat of the fresh pepper into a rich, earthy profile with distinct notes of wood and tobacco.
A foundational ingredient for adding a "campfire" depth to modern cooking, these whole pods are prized for their versatility. They provide a robust smoky base for salsas and braises without the vinegar found in canned alternatives.
