Chili powder (also spelled chile, chilli, or, alternatively, powdered chili) is the dried, pulverized fruit of one or more varieties of chili pepper, sometimes with the addition of other spices (in which case it is also sometimes known as chili powder blend or chili seasoning mix).
What we know as chili powder (sometimes called chili powder blend or chili seasoning mix) is a spice blend made from ground dried chiles and a number of other spices. It is not to be confused with chile powder, which is made from ground dried chiles and few or no additives.
Eating chili peppers offers many health benefits, including improving your heart health, metabolism, and immune system. They also add spiciness, warmth, color, and flavor to your food. Experiment with different types of chilis to find the ones you enjoy eating and cooking with.
