How to Use Crushed Chillies
Sprinkle crushed chillies into curries, soups, sauces, stir-fries or marinades to add a warming, spicy kick. They can be tempered in oil at the start of cooking to release aroma or added near the end for sharp heat. Use sparingly to control spiciness, or combine with other spices for custom blends.
Nutritional Benefits
Chillies contain naturally occurring compounds like capsaicin which may support metabolism and contribute antioxidant benefits. They provide trace amounts of vitamins A and C, and minerals such as potassium. Even in small quantities, they can enhance meals with flavour and colour without added fat or salt, making them a useful ingredient for health-conscious cooking.
