What it is

Organic chili pepper is a dried fruit from plants in the genus Capsicum, native to the Americas. It is cultivated organically, meaning without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The peppers are harvested, dried, and often ground into a powder or flakes.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic chili pepper primarily as a spice to add heat and flavor to foods. It is a key ingredient in many cuisines worldwide, commonly found in sauces, spice blends, snacks, and processed meats.

Health notes

Organic chili pepper is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. Capsaicin, the compound responsible for its heat, is being studied for potential health effects, but evidence is mixed and more research is needed. JECFA has evaluated chili and chili extracts, and EFSA has also evaluated capsaicin. Typical dietary intake is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Organic chili pepper is not one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
