What it is

Organic red chili pepper is a type of pepper that has been grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. It is the dried, ground fruit of certain Capsicum plants, known for its heat and flavor. The peppers are typically harvested, dried, and then ground into a powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic red chili pepper primarily as a spice to add heat and flavor to foods. It is a common ingredient in spice blends, sauces, marinades, soups, and processed meats. Its distinct taste profile makes it popular in various cuisines worldwide.

Health notes

Organic red chili pepper is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. The heat in chili peppers comes from compounds called capsaicinoids, with capsaicin being the most abundant. Some research suggests capsaicin may have anti-inflammatory properties and could potentially influence metabolism, but more studies are needed. JECFA has evaluated capsaicin and determined it is safe for consumption.

Allergen info

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