What it is

Spicy chili powder is a blend of dried, ground chili peppers, often including other spices like cumin, garlic powder, and oregano. The specific chili peppers used determine the heat and flavor profile. It is a common seasoning in Mexican, Tex-Mex, and other cuisines.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add spicy chili powder to provide heat, flavor, and color to foods. It is frequently used in spice blends, marinades, rubs, sauces, and as a direct seasoning for meats, vegetables, and snacks. It is often found in chili, tacos, and various savory dishes.

Health notes

Spicy chili powder 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 potential health effects, but evidence is mixed and ongoing. JECFA has evaluated chili peppers and their extracts, establishing specifications for their use. High intake of very spicy foods may cause digestive discomfort for some individuals.

Allergen info

Spicy chili powder is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
