Origin and production
“ EXTREMELY HOT CHILI POWDER FROM SOMALIA ”.
This exceptionally hot chili powder comes from Somalia, a region in the Horn of Africa known for its intensely flavorful, sun-dried chilies. The dry, hot climate and long hours of sunshine give the chilies their pronounced heat and vibrant color. After harvesting, the chilies are gently dried and finely ground, resulting in a pure, deep red powder – completely free of additives.
Taste and aroma
Somali X-Hot chili powder is characterized by its extreme heat and a subtle fruity depth. The heat builds up immediately and lasts a long time, accompanied by a delicate, sun-dried paprika aroma. The powder is pure, unadulterated, and intense – ideal for anyone seeking the true, uncompromising taste of chili.
Application
Ideal for spicy stews, curries, marinades, and sauces. Just a small amount is enough to add a powerful kick. Also perfect as a fiery finish over grilled meat, vegetables, or rice dishes. Due to its high intensity (10/10 on the heat scale), it is recommended to use the powder sparingly.
Interesting facts
In Somali cuisine, chili is a symbol of strength and energy. It is used not only as a spice but also as an invigorating ingredient that stimulates both body and mind. Somali chili powder is among the hottest in the world and is particularly valued for its purity and natural intensity.
