Dried Red Chilli Powder
Chilli or Chili Pepper is the fruit of plant Capsicum annuum which is the members of the nightshade family, Solanaceae. Chilli is cultivated throughout the world for its pods which are long, round, or conical shape, and yellow, brown, purple, or red color. A spongy central column bears the flat, kidney-shaped seeds. Harvest is done when the pods are glossy and ripe, which are then dried and crushed to produce Chilli Powder or flakes.
Chillies are rich in vitamin C and their Pungency is imparted by Capsaicin which along with its bright color makes it an excellent garnish for hot, spicy, light-colored foods.
