Calabrian Chili Powder
Calabrian chili powder, also known as diavolicchio, comes from the variety that symbolises Calabrian cuisine. It's made by drying ripe pods and grinding them fine, preserving aroma and heat.
The Calabrian Chili Powder Plant
The Capsicum annuum plant has a bushy habit and produces numerous tapered pods, often gathered in clusters, and is very prolific.
How to Sow Calabrian Chili Powder
Seeds for pod production are started indoors from February to March, transplanting once night temperatures stay reliably above 15°C.
How to Grow Calabrian Chili Powder
Growing requires full sun, well-drained soil and regular watering, with potassium-rich feeding during fruiting to boost yield.
Tips for Calabrian Chili Powder
Pods should be picked at full red ripeness and dried quickly, traditionally strung into braids, to preserve colour and aroma before grinding.
Diseases and Pests of Calabrian Chili Powder
Like other Capsicum varieties it can suffer from aphids, whitefly and root rot in overly wet soil; good drainage prevents most issues.
Uses and Curiosities of Calabrian Chili Powder
Calabrian chili powder has a medium heat level (about 15,000-30,000 SHU), ideal for seasoning sauces, cured meats like 'nduja and traditional dishes.
Properties of Calabrian Chili Powder
Rich in capsaicin, it has thermogenic and digestive-stimulating properties, plus vitamin C and antioxidants preserved through drying.
