What it is

Habanero chili powder is made from dried and ground habanero peppers, a variety of the chili pepper species *Capsicum chinense*. Habaneros are known for their intense heat and fruity flavor. The powder retains these characteristics, offering a potent spice.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use habanero chili powder primarily as a flavoring agent to add significant heat and a distinct fruity note to foods. It is commonly found in hot sauces, marinades, spice rubs, and snacks where a spicy kick is desired. It can also be used in smaller amounts to add complexity to savory dishes.

Health notes

Habanero chili powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. The capsaicinoids, which give chili peppers their heat, are responsible for most of its physiological effects. Some research suggests capsaicin may have anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties, but evidence is mixed and more research is needed. JECFA has evaluated capsaicinoids, but did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified).

Allergen info

Habanero chili powder is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
