Sweet Chili Powder
Sweet Chili Powder (Capsicum annuum) is a widely preferred spice in both home kitchens and industrial food production thanks to its non-pungent profile and vibrant red color. It is produced by carefully drying selected sweet chili peppers and finely grinding them using low-heat milling techniques to preserve natural color and aroma.
At Tuna Spice, our Sweet Chili Powder is produced from premium-quality red peppers with high ASTA color values, preserving their natural pigment structure and sweet aroma profile.
