What Is Red Chilli Powder?

Red chilli powder is a finely ground spice made from dried red chillies (Capsicum annuum) and is used globally to provide natural red colour, pungency and chilli flavour in food products.

Depending on the chilli variety and specification, red chilli powder can be supplied for spice blends, sauces, snacks, curry powders, food processing, oleoresin applications and other commercial food uses.
