What it is
Organic red chili refers to chili peppers grown according to organic farming standards. Chili peppers are fruits of plants from the genus Capsicum, native to the Americas. They are dried and ground into a powder, or used fresh, to add heat and flavor.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use organic red chili powder as a spice to add heat and a distinct flavor to a wide variety of foods. It is a key ingredient in chili, curries, and many savory dishes. It's also used in rubs, marinades, and sauces.
Health notes
Organic red chili is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. Capsaicin, the compound that gives chili peppers their heat, is being studied for potential health effects, but research is ongoing and not conclusive. JECFA has evaluated capsaicin and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified).
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. Chili peppers are not among the nine major allergens identified by the FDA.
