The extra chili red pepper (Capsicum frutescens) is the dried and ground hot pepper, ideal for flavoring dishes and adding a spicy note to your meals. Its spiciness ranges from 40,000 to 50,000 units on the Scoville scale, making it 5-6 times hotter than classic paprika. It has a vibrant red color and a form of fine flakes with a peppery and warm taste.

Culinary use: It is used in meat dishes, pasta, vegetables, soups, pizza, as well as in Latin American and Asian dishes. It is perfect for any recipe that requires warm notes.

Different types of pepper: "Pepper" (piper) and "paprika" come from different plants, the former from South Asia and the latter from Central America. Pepper owes its hot taste to piperine, while paprika to capsaicin.

Benefits of consuming pepper: The poorly described exercise of capsaicin can improve blood vessel relaxation and reduce blood pressure. Red pepper contains antioxidants such as vitamin C and beta-carotene, which boost the immune system and protect against infections.

Pepper also acts as an expectorant, relieving nasal congestion. Its anti-inflammatory properties may reduce lung inflammation.

Packaging and quality safety: Available packaging includes eco-friendly kraft bags, zip lock bags, plastic containers, and others.
