Description
Elevate your textural game and deliver a sophisticated, slow-burn smokiness with the professional-grade Fiery Farms Smoked Chipotle Morita Pepper Flakes. Distributed by ChickenPieces.com from our Calgary warehouse, this 1 KG (2.2 lb) bulk bag is a mission-critical asset for Canadian chefs who demand visual appeal and aromatic depth. Morita flakes are made from red-ripened jalapeños that are wood-smoked just long enough to capture a deep mahogany color and a "berry-like" sweetness. In flake form, these peppers provide a beautiful, rustic garnish that holds its integrity better than powder in oils and high-moisture environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are these hotter than regular red pepper flakes?
In terms of Scoville units, they are similar (Medium heat), but the flavor profile is vastly different. While standard flakes are neutral and spicy, Morita flakes are smoky, fruity, and leathery, adding a "BBQ" soul to the heat.
Can I grind these into powder?
Yes. If a recipe calls for a smooth texture, you can easily pulse these flakes in a spice grinder. However, we recommend purchasing them as flakes to maintain the versatility of using them as a garnish.
Are there a lot of seeds in the bag?
Fiery Farms prides itself on a high flesh-to-seed ratio. You will see some seeds, as they carry significant heat, but the majority of the bag consists of the flavorful, dark-red smoked skin and flesh of the pepper.
Why is the color so dark?
That deep mahogany color is the result of the natural smoking process. Unlike "Meco" chipotles which are tan/grey, Moritas retain more of their natural sugars, which caramelize during smoking to create that rich, dark hue.
