Fresh chilies come in a mind-boggling variety. But when these members of the capsicum family are dried and ground, they are even more confusing. Here are some common types of chili powders and what you can expect from them. Cayenne: Made from a variety of small slender, bright red chilies, this powder is pungent and very hot-use with caution. Chili powder: (American-style) A supermarket staple, this powder blends dried chilies with other seasonings, such as oregano, allspice, garlic powder and coriander. It ranges from mild to medium-hot. Crushed red pepper flakes: Also called chili flakes, it's a combination of small chili pod flakes and seeds of hot to moderately hot chilies. New Mexican chili powder: Made from New Mexican chilies that are mild to medium-hot, this powder is deep red with a slightly spicy flavor. California chili powder: Made from mild Anaheim chilies, this powder is brick red in color but with a mellow flavor-use it liberally. Ground pasilla chili: The pasilla is a long blackish-brown dried chili. When ground, it becomes a russet colored powder with a mild but complex flavor. Converted by MC_Buster.
