What it is

Organic Red Chile Powder is made from dried, ground red chili peppers, often a variety like cayenne or paprika. The peppers are typically grown organically, meaning without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, and then dried and milled into a fine powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic red chile powder primarily for its flavor and color. It adds a warm, spicy taste and a reddish hue to foods, commonly found in spice blends, marinades, sauces, and processed meats.

Health notes

Organic Red Chile Powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. Capsaicin, the compound that gives chiles their heat, has been studied for various health effects, but evidence is mixed and not conclusive for specific benefits or harms at typical dietary intake levels. JECFA has evaluated capsaicinoids, and EFSA has also evaluated capsaicin. It is not associated with major health controversies.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. While chiles are botanically fruits, they are not one of the FDA's nine major food allergens.
