What it is

Organic dried red pepper is made from ripe red chili peppers that have been dehydrated. The drying process concentrates the flavor and can be done through sun-drying or using dehydrators. It is a spice known for its heat and distinct flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic dried red pepper primarily as a spice to add heat and flavor to foods. It is commonly found in savory dishes, sauces, marinades, and spice blends.

Health notes

Organic dried red pepper is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. Capsaicin, the compound that gives chili peppers their heat, is being studied for various potential health effects, but evidence is mixed and more research is needed. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated chili peppers and their extracts.
