Chipotle Chile Pepper Morita Whole 3oz

What is Selefina Chipotle Chile Pepper Morita Whole 3oz?

Selefina Chipotle Chile Pepper Morita Whole 3oz delivers authentic, sun-ripened jalapeños that are smoked to perfection, resulting in richly flavored morita peppers. Unlike fresh jalapeños, these are left on the plant until they turn deep red and naturally dehydrate, then smoked in sealed chambers for several days. The result is a wrinkled, dark red pepper with a name derived from 'small mulberry'—a nod to its appearance and color. Sold by Adagio Teas, this 3oz package offers whole, unbroken peppers ideal for cooks seeking bold, smoky depth in savory dishes.
