Dried Chilli Strips 50g – Small Pack, Big Flavour for Every Kiwi Kitchen

1. Description

In the heart of every great meal lies one key ingredient — flavour. And few ingredients deliver flavour with as much excitement, colour, and aroma as the Dried Chilli Strips 50g. Designed for those who appreciate authentic taste in a convenient, compact pack, this product brings a burst of natural heat and rich smokiness to your cooking, whether you’re in a professional kitchen or preparing dinner at home in New Zealand.

Our Dried Chilli Strips are made from premium-grade red chillies that have been handpicked, sun-dried, and sliced into thin, even strips. This meticulous process locks in their natural oils, deep red colour, and bold aroma — giving you the perfect balance of spice and texture.

Unlike chilli flakes or fine powders that can lose intensity over time, these strips hold onto their full-bodied flavour. They rehydrate beautifully in sauces, soups, or marinades, releasing layers of smoky, slightly sweet, and moderately hot notes that complement both traditional and modern dishes.

From spicy stir-fries to aromatic soups, chilli-infused oils, and tangy pickles, the Dried Chilli Strips 50g are an essential companion for any recipe that calls for genuine heat and depth. Perfect for home cooks who love experimenting or for those who prefer buying spices in small, fresh portions — this 50g pack ensures you always have premium quality chillies at their peak.

Crafted with Care for Authentic Flavour

Every chilli used in this product comes from farms that specialise in cultivating Capsicum annuum varieties known for their consistent flavour and bright colour. The chillies are dried naturally under the sun — not oven-dried or treated with chemicals — preserving their essential oils and authentic taste.

After drying, they are hand-cut into fine strips that are ideal for stir-frying, frying in oil for seasoning, or infusing in sauces. The texture allows them to release flavour slowly, enhancing both aroma and spice in your dish.

The result? A product that represents both quality and authenticity — perfect for Kiwi kitchens that value fresh, real ingredients and global flavour experiences.

The thin, glossy strips of dried chilli don’t just taste great — they look beautiful too. Used as a garnish, they add a touch of gourmet flair to soups, noodles, and salads. The striking red colour stands out, adding instant visual appeal to your plating.

d. Packed with Natural Goodness

Chillies are a natural source of vitamin C, A, and capsaicin, which may help boost immunity, improve circulation, and promote a healthy metabolism. Unlike processed condiments, dried chillies contain no sodium, no additives, and no hidden sugars — just pure spice from nature.

e. Easy to Rehydrate and Use

Simply soak the strips in warm water for 10–15 minutes, and they’ll regain their soft texture — ready for blending into sauces or chopping into curries. Their rehydrated form carries a mellow, smoky sweetness that enriches the depth of your recipe.
