Chili powder is the name given to any spice blend that is made mostly from chiles. Some chili powders contain only pure powdered chiles, but more often, they are mixtures of ground chiles and other spices that complement the heat and add depth. Chili powder is used in Indian cuisine, but its primary use in North America is for making good old Texas chili. It’s also great as an ingredient in barbeque rubs. We use it in our Cinnamon Chili Rub.
Our mild chili powder uses sweet, relatively mild chiles like anchos and New Mexicos so you get a good amount of flavour with a reasonable level of heat. We blend the chiles with spices like cumin, annatto, cinnamon, allspice and Mexican oregano for a really well-rounded, complex flavour. Perfect for chili lovers who aren’t looking to break any records with their heat-tolerance.
