Question 1

Is this chilli powder a blend? Or just chilli powder?

Accepted Answer

The Fifth or #5 thumbnail image from the top down along side the larger first one at top of page clearly shows this is a BLEND. It contains spices and salt and garlic powder along with chili of course and a chemical to keep it from clumping. Yummmy. Ok I buy it so I'm being silly. Anyway this is a blend. However the person who said all chili powders are blends not so. I've bought for years true chili's that are powdered or whole and I powder or break up or leave whole depending on my recipes. I make my own from scratch pickling spices and we like all our sweet pickles HOT and I like mine EXTRA Hot. Hubby not so much though in the day he loved my hot and hottest versions. However some years back I became sensitive to jalopeno's and from that time on now and again certain capsican species do upset my tummy. (I was diagnosed with 5 ulcers a few years back and not related to any bacteria cause like H. pelori and worse allergic severly to PPI's and H2's too which treat Ulcers. Anyway I now have to be a little more careful. But I still love my chilli and chillis Spiced up. I often add some very HOT powdered whole chili's that have very HOT ranking on their charts or heat indexes to my various chili blends. Just saying. But shop around for a variety of real different species of chili's that are mild to HOT and come in powdered form too. Many do not need to have anti clumping chems either. And a little goes a long ways. We use a spice grinder to make some of our own up and some of our own all pepper blends up too. And mortal and pestle works well for my pickling spices. And I usually just snap up my japan chili's both green and reds. Some hotter than others. I used to use a different chili but they are very hard to find these days in NW MT. In Fort  Collins CO over 30 years ago we found a lot more variety of pepper species in the stores in the Mexican food and specialty departments. Today we are stuck mail ordering. However we do quite well. This is a generic form of chili powder we use in basic chili and chili soups. But we do spice it up ourselves. Also my husband likes their regular non dark blend too. I find it too salty for my taste and have to be very careful not to over salt a dish because it has too much in it. This has salt too but maybe not quite as much. More my opinion than actually tested by any scientific means.
