What it is

Organic chili powder is a blend of ground dried chili peppers, often including other spices like cumin, oregano, and garlic powder. The specific chili peppers used can vary, influencing the powder's heat and flavor profile. It is made by drying and grinding the peppers and other spices.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic chili powder primarily as a flavoring agent to add a spicy, savory taste to foods. It is a key ingredient in many Tex-Mex and Mexican dishes, as well as rubs for meats and seasoning blends.

Health notes

Organic chili powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of capsaicin, the compound that gives chili peppers their heat, which has been studied for various physiological effects. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated capsaicin and related compounds. Evidence on long-term health effects of chili consumption is mixed and ongoing.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. It is derived from peppers and other spices, which are not among the FDA's nine major food allergens.
