Talk:Chili powder

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So wait, you just told me it's different than chile powder (which is just dried chiles), but a heaping teaspoon of chili powder is equal to a whole chile pepper? A chile pepper doesn't have any cumin or anything in it. How can that be? -65.27.76.113 20:14, 22 December 2005 (UTC)


Is there a reliable source for the distinction between "chile powder" and "chili powder"? I've heard conflicting reports on this one; apparently mostly based on hearsay. Confuseddave 15:08, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Minor changes (NOT Minor Edit) by JMBryant

I have attempted to clarify the paprika issue by clarifying the distinction between powdered chiles, paprika and cayenne.

I have also mentioned some of the additional ingredients used in many varieties of chili powder but have not added them to the recipe given.
