Chilli Powder

Chilli Powder is a ground spice blend made from dried chilies (and often other spices) used across many cuisines to add color, warmth and heat to dishes. It's commonly labelled as varieties like Kashmiri or Ancho chili powder and is prized for its bright red color and smoky or fruity flavor depending on the chili used. In terms of nutrition, powdered chilies are concentrated sources of carotenoids and provide noteworthy amounts of vitamin A (listed here as 1565) along with fiber and small amounts of protein — though they are used in small quantities so their caloric and macronutrient contribution to a meal is usually minimal. Chilies also contain capsaicin and other antioxidants, compounds associated with antioxidant effects and occasional benefits for metabolism and pain relief. Overall, chili powder is a nutrient-dense seasoning that can boost flavor without adding much salt or calories; because it’s typically used sparingly, its vitamins and fiber contribute modestly to intake but its protective plant compounds are a meaningful benefit.
