Red chili powder is a vibrant, fiery spice made from dried and ground red chili peppers, commonly used in Indian, Mexican, and Southeast Asian cuisines to add heat and flavor to dishes. Rich in antioxidants and vitamins A and C, it supports immune health and helps combat free radicals in the body. Capsaicin, the compound responsible for its heat, may boost metabolism and improve heart health by promoting better blood circulation. Red chili powder contains trace minerals like potassium and manganese, which contribute to overall well-being. However, it should be consumed in moderation, as excessive intake can irritate the stomach lining and lead to digestive discomfort. This versatile spice adds depth to curries, marinades, soups, and sauces, making it a staple ingredient in bold, flavorful cooking traditions worldwide.
