Description

Gebhardt chili powder is a spice blend based on ground chilies, originating from Mexico and very popular in Tex-Mex cuisine. This powder combines different types of dried chilies, primarily ancho chilies, with additional spices such as cumin, garlic powder, oregano, and salt, giving it a robust, slightly sweet, and smoky flavor with a moderate level of heat.

Gebhardt chili powder is ideal for seasoning meats, stews, soups, sauces, and traditional dishes like chili con carne, fajitas, tacos, or enchiladas. Its use adds depth and a characteristic intense red hue that enhances the presentation of dishes.

Regarding its properties, this powder not only adds flavor but also contains capsaicin, a compound that can stimulate metabolism and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, its nutritional contribution is primarily in flavor and color due to the typically small amount used in recipes.

In different regions of Hispanic America, Gebhardt chili powder may be known simply as Mexican chili powder or cooking chili blend, although in some areas terms like ground chili pepper or hot powder are also used, though these latter terms may refer to homemade or specific blends with variations in the type of chili or added spices.
