What it is

Organic chili refers to chili peppers grown using organic farming methods, meaning without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers. Chili peppers are fruits of plants from the genus Capsicum, native to the Americas, and come in many varieties with varying heat levels.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic chili to add a spicy flavor and heat to a wide range of food products. It is commonly found in seasoning mixes, sauces, marinades, snacks like popcorn and nuts, and as a flavoring in processed foods.

Health notes

Organic chili is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. Chili peppers contain capsaicin, the compound responsible for their heat, which may have antioxidant properties. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated capsaicin and related compounds. Evidence on the health effects of capsaicin at typical dietary intake levels is mixed, with some studies suggesting potential benefits for metabolism and pain relief, while others note potential for gastrointestinal irritation in sensitive individuals.

Allergen info

Organic chili is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
