Chili Soaking Water

Chili Soaking Water is the flavored liquid left after soaking fresh or dried chilies and is used in many cuisines to add heat and peppery aroma to sauces, marinades and dressings. It provides a punch of chili flavour without adding much energy, at about 1kcal per 100g. Nutritionally it is essentially water with trace amounts of carbohydrate and protein, so it contributes negligible calories while passing on small amounts of heat-soluble nutrients from the peppers. From a health perspective, it’s a low-calorie way to boost flavour and can provide modest vitamin C and antioxidant compounds found in chilies, while contributing almost no fat; use it in place of higher-calorie or high-salt flavorings when you want chili character without extra calories.
