Best Answer

Chili powder is actually made from chili peppers that are split, stemmed, and then roasted to the point of being toasted. They are then broken up and processed into powder.

You can use any chili pepper to make chili powder. A mild chili powder might be made out of Ancho or New Mexico chili, a hot powder out of serrano or habanero chili, or an impossibly hot chili powder from the likes of ghost chilis. Some chili powder have additional ingredients beyond ground chili pepper in them including Mexican oregano and cumin (among other spices).

Chili peppers to make chili powder are literally grown around the world in just about any climate that can support the growth of peppers. You can even grow your own chili peppers indoors in a home or apartment with moderate sunlight and little attention.

Countries actively involved in the trade of chili peppers include (but are not limited to) and in no particular order, South Africa, China, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, Poland, Russia, Turkey, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, Canada, Mexico, United States, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Peru.
