About Red chili purée

Red chili purée is a smooth or slightly coarse preparation made by crushing or blending red chili peppers. It is usually used in small amounts to add heat, pepper flavour and colour to sauces, marinades, soups and other cooking; recipes may include additional ingredients.

Its colour ranges from bright to deep red, and its heat and texture depend on the peppers and how finely they are processed. It may be sold fresh, cooked, or preserved, and some versions contain salt, acid or other seasonings.
