Description
Our Thai Red Chile Powder is ground from a variety of whole, de-stemmed Thai chiles with intensely hot flavor. In a powdered form, it can be used to add flavor and spice as well as the deep color typical of red curry.
Typical of Thai chiles, this powder releases a strong, lingering heat. While these flavors are popular in Asia now, they have their origins in South America and Mexico and were not introduced to the region until the 15th century.
A member of the Capsicum family, Thai chiles are not only full of heat, but long regarded for healing abilities and health boosting properties.
Ancient cultures have used the pepper to help with cardiovascular ailments, pain management and digestive issues.
