Chipotle powder is a smoky, medium-spicy seasoning made from dried, smoked jalapeño peppers. Originating from Mexican cuisine, this flavorful spice adds a rich depth to dishes like tacos, chili, and marinades. It typically contains just ground chipotle peppers, making it a single-ingredient option free from additives. Rich in antioxidants, chipotle powder aids in fighting free radicals and supports overall health. It also contains capsaicin, which may boost metabolism and reduce inflammation. However, its intense flavor means moderation is key, as excessive consumption of spicy foods can irritate digestion. Chipotle powder is a great way to enhance meals with bold aromas and a hint of heat while offering some nutritional benefits.
