What to know about chili powder
Chili powder is usually a blend rather than a single spice, and that is what makes it tricky: the ground chilli brings a nightshade load, while the cumin, garlic and onion powder mixed in add salicylates and fructans. No one trigger is extreme, but several sit at a moderate level at once, so it behaves differently from pure paprika, which is nothing but ground pepper and is far more concentrated on the nightshade side alone.
Watch for
- A nightshade seasoning, because the base is ground chilli pepper, so it is one to watch if nightshades flare your joints or gut
- Contains fructans from the garlic and onion powder that most blends include, which can bother a FODMAP-sensitive gut
- Moderately salicylate-rich and mildly histamine-active as well, so for a blend the triggers add up across a few different pathways rather than one big one
