Chilli powder is a vibrant, flavorful spice made from dried and ground chilli peppers, often combined with complementary seasonings like cumin, garlic powder, and oregano. Originating primarily from South American, Indian, and Mexican cuisines, chilli powder adds heat and depth to dishes such as curries, stews, and marinades. Rich in vitamins A and C, it supports immune health and promotes healthy skin. Capsaicin, its active compound, is known for its potential anti-inflammatory and metabolism-boosting properties. Chilli powder is also low in calories and contains antioxidants that combat free radicals. However, excessive consumption may cause digestive discomfort or exacerbate heartburn in sensitive individuals. Whether adding mild warmth or fiery intensity, chilli powder is a versatile spice that enhances flavor while offering nutritional benefits. Keep portion sizes balanced to enjoy its heat and healthful qualities effectively.
