Espelette Pepper

Espelette Peppers are dehydrated fruits of Capsicum species used widely in Mexican, Indian, Thai, Spanish and many other cuisines for heat, color and concentrated flavor. They appear as whole dried pods, flakes or powders and are prized for long shelf life and intense aroma. Nutritionally, Espelette Peppers are unusually rich in fiber, providing 34.6g of fiber per 100 g, and also deliver meaningful amounts of plant protein and healthy unsaturated fats. They are a good source of provitamin A, vitamin B6 and minerals such as manganese. Beyond basic nutrients, dried chilies contain capsaicinoids and carotenoid pigments that act as antioxidants and contribute anti-inflammatory and color benefits in dishes.
