Dried Chile Chipotle Morita Peppers // Bulk Weights: 2 Lbs, 5 Lbs, and 10 Lbs!! (2 LBS)

A Morita chile is a smoked jalapeño, much like a chipotle but smaller and fierier. The Morita is red, as are chipotles. And if you're wondering why they are red when jalapeños are commonly green, is because if a jalapeño is left on the vine long enough it will eventually turn red, much like tomatoes start out green and then turn red. A more attractive and colorful chile than the brown chipotles, Moritas have a flavor that is full and fruity, with tobacco and chocolate tones. You can also rehydrate them by soaking them in water, or toast them on a dry cast-iron skillet to make a great salsa. Dried and crushed Morita chiles are ideal for use in soups, stews, beans, chilis, or other recipes that simmer a long while on a low heat. Just a little sprinkle of Morita Chile brings a kick to vegetables, meats, and sauces. The fruity undertones of Moritas are delicious with tomato or pork dishes. Add to chili, sauces, and moles. México es centro de origen, domesticación y diversificación de la variedad Capsicum annuum, plantas compuestas por un tallo leñoso, tipo arbusto. Las flores casi siempre son blancas y a veces verdosas. El fruto varía de tamaño, color y sabor, dependiendo del tipo de suelo, clima, etcétera. El chile jalapeño pertenece a esta especie. De acuerdo con la región, lo llaman chile cuaresmeño, tornachile, acorchado, rayado, tres lomos, candelaria, espinalteco o pinalteco, gordo, guachinango y jarocho. El chile morita es una variedad del chile jalapeño secado y ahumado. En algunas comunidades, estos procesos se llevan a cabo por separado y artesanalmente, pero la mayor producción la desarrollan hornos industriales que secan y ahúman en la misma operación.
