What it is
Habanero powder is made from dried and ground habanero peppers, a variety of the chili pepper species *Capsicum chinense*. These peppers 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 powder primarily as a flavor enhancer to add significant heat and a distinct fruity note to foods. It is commonly found in spicy snacks, sauces like ketchup and mustard, dips, salsa, and marinades.
Health notes
Habanero powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. The capsaicin in habaneros is responsible for the heat and has been studied for various effects, though research is ongoing and not conclusive for specific health benefits or risks at typical dietary intake levels. JECFA has evaluated capsaicin and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified).
Allergen info
Habanero powder is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
