What it is

Salted chili peppers are chili peppers that have been preserved in salt. This process draws out moisture and intensifies the chili flavor. They are often used as a condiment or ingredient in various cuisines.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add salted chili peppers to provide a spicy, salty, and umami flavor profile. They are commonly found in Asian-inspired dishes, sauces, marinades, and as a condiment for meats and vegetables.

Salted chili peppers are primarily a source of sodium due to the salt used in preservation. High sodium intake is linked to increased blood pressure in some individuals. The FDA considers chili peppers themselves to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). JECFA has evaluated chili extract and found it to be safe for consumption.
