1 oz,3 oz,16 oz Chipotle Brown Chili Peppers (also known as Chile Meco, Tipico, Chili Ahumado) are Jalapenos, picked when they are still green, dried, and slowly smoked (for a longer time the Morita Chili) over natural wood fires, until they are infused with an incredible smoky flavor and are completely dried.
Chipotle Brown Chili Peppers are larger and smokier than the more common Morita variety and hold up well to stronger flavors.
Brown Chipotles are rated approximately 5,000-8,000 Scoville heat units and 4-5 on the out of 10 heat scale.
