Organic ground chillies is the finely ground dried cayenne pepper. We also call it chilli or red pepper. Chillie pepper is a collective name for spicy peppers. This cayenne pepper is one of the many variants. Although this pepper with a strong red colour originates from South America, our organic ground chillies come from China.

The pungent flavour of organic ground chillies

Organic ground chillies have a pronounced pungent taste. The substance capsaicin is responsible for this sharpness. This substance is mainly found in the pith and the seeds of the pepper and not so much in the flesh.It is the same substance that is present in the paprika, although in a much lower dose. Capsaicin hardly evaporates, which means that these ground cayenne peppers do not lose their flavour and strength during the preparation process.

Use of organic ground chillies in your kitchen

For the above reason it is important to be careful when using organic ground chillies. A recipe will always describe the recommended dosage. However, it is important not to forget your own preference. Is something easily too spicy for you? Then first add some of the recommended dosage and taste first. Can you have some more? Then add the rest. Have you accidentally added too many organic chillies? Then you can neutralise this by adding brown sugar or a spoonful of yoghurt, oil or coconut milk.
