Chili pepper, this amazing plant, is native to Central America, and then spread to the world with the footsteps of explorers. In China, India, Mexico and other countries, dried chilli have been given various forms and flavors, and dried chilli powder is one of the most representative and widely used among its many forms. The process of making dried chilli powder may seem simple, but it is rich in traditional wisdom and technology. High-quality dried chilli powder is often made from fresh, brightly colored, moderately spicy dried chilli peppers, which are refined through a number of processes, including washing, drying, and grinding. During this process, factors such as temperature, humidity, and fineness of grinding directly affect the quality and taste of dried chilli powder.
With the acceleration of globalization, dried red pepper is no longer limited to local consumption but has become an important commodity in international trade. Asia, Africa and Latin America are the main production and export regions of dried red pepper, while Europe and North America are its main consumer markets. Especially in recent years, with the popularization of the concept of healthy diet and the curiosity of exotic flavors, the demand for dried red pepper continues to grow.

In Mexico, chili powder is an indispensable element in traditional festivals and daily diets, symbolizing enthusiasm and vitality; in China, chili powder is the soul of local cuisines such as Szechuan and Hunan cuisines, which inspires people's taste buds and emotional resonance.
