Morita dried chiles are a variety of dried and smoked jalapeño peppers, known for their small size (about 3 to 4 cm long and 2 cm wide), smooth and shiny skin with a dark purple to reddish brown color, and a medium spiciness with a sweet touch and smoky aroma. Their heat level ranges between 15,000 and 23,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), placing them in the medium to hot category. They are traditionally used in Mexican cuisine to prepare sauces, marinades, stews, and moles, adding intense flavor and aroma. They’re often rehydrated before use to make them easier to incorporate in various recipes
