About Spices, chili powder
Chili powder is usually not a single ingredient but a blend — ground dried chillies mixed with cumin, garlic, oregano and other spices — built for chilli con carne, Tex-Mex and a quick route to warm, spicy depth. (In some countries the name means pure ground chilli, which is much hotter.)
Used by the spoonful it isn't a major calorie source, but because it's concentrated dried peppers and spices, it's surprisingly rich in vitamin A (from carotenoids) and carries iron and antioxidants, plus the capsaicin behind its heat.
A spoonful of chili powder brings instant warmth and complexity to a dish — a convenient all-in-one blend that does the work of several spices at once.
