What it is

Organic chili pepper powder is made from dried, ground chili peppers, which are the fruits of plants from the genus Capsicum. The peppers are typically grown organically, meaning without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. After harvesting, they are dried and then ground into a fine powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add organic chili pepper powder primarily for its flavor and heat. It provides a spicy kick and a distinct pepper taste to a wide variety of foods. It is commonly found in dips, salsas, sauces, snacks, and ethnic food products.

Health notes

Organic chili pepper powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. Capsaicin, the compound that gives chili peppers their heat, is being studied for various potential health effects. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated capsaicinoids. Evidence on health effects at typical dietary intake levels is still being researched, and some studies suggest potential benefits while others note possible gastrointestinal irritation in sensitive individuals.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. It is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
