Chili pepper and chili powder are not the same thing. Chili peppers are a vegetable. Chili powder is a mixture of spices used to make chili. This will have cumin, onion, and several spices in it to give chili flavor.

∙ 12y agoNo, it is not. Depending on the brand you buy, commercial chili powder may not contain a single fleck of cayenne. Commercial chili powder is frequently made up of a mixture of mild peppers and spices, including ancho and pasilla peppers, cumin, garlic, and oregano. To create a piquant savor in chili, hot peppers like cayenne, jalapeño, and habanero need to be added separately. Read ingredient labels. You may find a chili powder with cayenne or dried jalapeño in it, but it will be in combination with the other above-mentioned ingredients. That's the nature of chili powder.

There's a big difference between plain dried red chiles sold in a powdered form ("chili powder") and a real chili powder spice mix that's ready for Mexican dishes. Make sure you're getting the mix by checking for ingredients such as oregano, cumin, garlic, salt, and, of course, red chiles. Or make your own and try a blend of red peppers and additions like coriander, paprika, or cloves. Use it for any kind of appetizer or main dish that you want to have a smoky, warm flavor - and don't forget it for your chili! Chili powder is mild and red chili powder is dynomite!

What variety of chili is hotter than jalapeno?
Depending on how you spell the word chile, you can get a different answer to this question. Among Chileheads and the New Mexico State University Chile Pepper Institute (see link below), the correct American English spelling of the fruit known as a "hot pepper" is "chile", the same as the country, although lower case. Chili is the name of the popular soup of the SW in the US (and TX ~ without beans) and it uses a spice mix called Chili Powder that contains chile powder along with cumin and other spices. The folks in the UK call chiles "chillies." If you are cold, you could be called chilly. Now with terminology sorted out, chili (the soup) can be as hot as the chiles used to make it, so they can be equally hot to the chile or chile powder in the chili powder or that you might add in addition to the chili powder. Most commercial chili powder is not very hot, so Chileheads usually add more chile powder made of their favorite type of chiles to make it hotter. There are some very mild chiles, such as New Mexico, Anaheim, banana and "cherry peppers", so if the chili is made with those types of chiles, it will be less hot.
