Chili Powder

Chili Powder

EverydayDried

Chili powder is a spice blend primarily composed of dried, ground chili peppers combined with cumin, garlic powder, oregano, and paprika. Unlike single-pepper spices, it delivers a balanced heat with earthy and smoky undertones, making it essential for seasoning chili con carne, tacos, and stews. The blend provides antioxidants like capsaicin from chilies, though sodium content varies significantly between homemade and commercial versions. Heat intensity depends on the specific chili varieties used, such as ancho or cayenne.
