Chilli powder

Chilli powder is a popular spice made from dried and ground chilli peppers. These peppers come from plants, adding a spicy kick to many dishes. You may find chilli powder in various cuisines worldwide due to its vibrant flavour.

To make chilli powder, farmers harvest ripe chilli peppers and dry them to remove moisture. Once dry, the peppers are ground into a fine powder. This process retains the peppers' heat and flavour, creating the fiery spice that many enjoy in their meals.

Chilli powder is often listed on food labels to indicate a dish's spiciness level. It adds a fiery taste to dishes like chilli con carne, curries, and spicy marinades. Its presence can make a meal more exciting or provide a mild heat, depending on the quantity used.
