Harvesting

Organic chillis are typically grown in warm, sunny climates with well-drained soil, such as India, Mexico, and Thailand. The chilli plants thrive in temperatures between 70-90°F and require regular watering to produce high-quality fruit. The chillies are usually harvested in late summer to early autumn when they have reached their peak ripeness and vibrant red colour.

After harvesting, the chillies are dried to reduce their moisture content and preserve their flavour. Once dried, they are ground into a fine powder, resulting in the characteristic deep red colour of the product. The mild chilli powder is naturally rich in vitamins A and C, as well as minerals like potassium and iron, which are retained through careful processing methods.

The organic nature of Organic Mild 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 Mild 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.

Organic Mild Chilli Powder has a rich history dating back to ancient civilisations. The use of chilli peppers can be traced to Central and South America, where they were cultivated for thousands of years. The introduction of chilli peppers to Europe in the 15th century by Spanish and Portuguese explorers sparked a culinary revolution. The demand for chilli powder grew as it became a staple in global cuisine. This product's heritage reflects a journey of discovery and appreciation for natural, organic ingredients.
