What's in chili powder?

[TOTO_]

I'm curious about the different ingredients that go into making chili powder. I've heard there's more to it than just ground chili peppers. Can anyone share what typically goes into a good chili powder mix?

A good mix for chili powder often includes ground chili peppers, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, and sometimes a pinch of cinnamon for depth. Experiment with ratios based on your taste preference to find the perfect blend!

Chili powder is more than just heat! It usually has a blend of ground chilies, cumin for warmth, garlic powder for savoriness, and maybe even oregano or cocoa powder. Exact mix can vary by brand, but that's the general idea ..So it's more like a flavor party in a jar than just pure pepper heat!
