Harvesting

Organic hot chilli powder is typically derived from the fruit of the Capsicum annuum plant, which is a member of the nightshade family. These plants are usually grown in warm, sunny climates with well-drained soil, and they require regular watering and care to thrive. The chillies are usually harvested in late summer or early autumn when they have reached their peak ripeness and are vibrant in colour.

After harvesting, the chillies are typically dried to preserve their flavour and potency. They are then ground into a fine powder, resulting in the characteristic bright red colour of hot chilli powder. The natural composition of hot chilli powder includes capsaicin, the compound responsible for its spicy heat, as well as various vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, vitamin A, and potassium. The vibrant colour and potent spiciness of hot chilli powder make it a popular ingredient in a wide range of cuisines, adding both flavour and a nutritional boost to dishes.

The organic nature of Organic Hot Chilli Powder means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Hot Chilli Powder in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.
