Red Chili Powder

Red Chili Powder is a powdered spice made from dried hot red chiles and is used worldwide in cuisines that favor heat — from Mexican and Cajun to Indian and Southeast Asian cooking. It’s known for its pungent heat from capsaicin and its bright red color, and is typically used in small amounts to add spice rather than bulk. Nutritionally, Red Chili Powder is notable as a concentrated source of plant micronutrients and fiber, providing about 35.6g of fiber per 100g; it also contributes vitamin A and vitamin B6 along with trace minerals. Because it’s used in small quantities, it adds flavor, color and some nutrients without adding much salt or calories to a dish. Beyond basic nutrition, cayenne delivers bioactive compounds such as capsaicinoids and carotenoids that act as antioxidants and contribute to its spicy effects; these compounds are associated with modest metabolic and circulation-related benefits when consumed as part of a balanced diet.
