The Spicy Journey: How Chilli Became a Global Culinary Superstar
Chillies have been heating up kitchens for over 6,000 years! Originally cultivated in Mexico, Central America, and South America, chillies were introduced to the rest of the world by Spanish and Portuguese explorers in the 15th and 16th centuries. From India’s fiery curries to Thailand’s sizzling stir-fries and Ethiopia’s bold berbere spice mix, chillies quickly became an integral part of global cuisines.
Chillies entered the Indian cuisine around the same time, during Vasco Da Gama’s expedition into Goa. Prior to that heat in Indian cuisine came from spices, particularly Black Pepper. But once Chillies hit our palate there was no looking back. Currently over 50 varieties of chillies are grown in India.
The Chillies Behind Majic Jar’s Heat Collection
At Majic Jar, we use a variety of chillies to create a balanced and flavourful heat in our Jars:
- Grilled Pineapple Salsa – A tropical twist with red jalapenos, known for their deep red colour and mild heat, adding a smoky warmth to the sweet and tangy pineapple.
- Red Paprika Sauce – Made with smoky red paprika and freshly ground Kashmiri chilli, offering a rich, sweet heat with just the right amount of spice.
- Green Chilli Paste – A fiery fusion of Jwala, Bhavnagari, and Jalapeños, elevated with a hint of Nigella Seeds (Kalonji). This isn’t just your ordinary green chilli paste—it’s a bold symphony of heat and flavour with a touch of drama!
- Guava Chilli Spread – A bold fusion of sweet, tropical guava and vibrant Kashmiri chilli, delivering a fresh and exciting twist on the classic hot-and-sweet pairing
By using different types of chillies, we craft products that makes heat, delicious!
Chilli is a Superfood
Not only do chillies make your taste buds dance, but they also offer powerful health benefits:
1. Boosts Metabolism
Chillies contain capsaicin, the compound responsible for their heat. Capsaicin has been scientifically proven to increase metabolism, helping burn calories faster.
2. Natural Pain Reliever
Capsaicin also has pain-relieving properties and is used in topical treatments for arthritis and muscle pain. Who knew spice could be so soothing?
3. Heart Health & Immunity
Chillies are loaded with vitamin C, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds, which help reduce cholesterol, improve circulation, and boost the immune system.
4. Mood Enhancer
Eating spicy food releases endorphins and dopamine, the "feel-good" hormones, making you happier with every bite!
5. A Natural Preservative
Capsaicin is antimicrobial, meaning it helps prevent food spoilage naturally. This is why chilli-based sauces and pastes last longer—no artificial preservatives needed!
