Manganji pepper powder
Product overview of dried Manganji pepper powder
Manganji pepper is a heirloom vegetable representative of Kyoto, a chili pepper with an exquisite balance of sweetness and faint pungency. By drying it and turning it into a powder, its flavor and umami are concentrated, and it can be used as a seasoning in a wide variety of dishes.
Its sweetness and pungency especially stand out, matching not only Japanese cuisine but Western and ethnic dishes as well. Because the heat is not too strong, it is also recommended for menus aimed at children and health-conscious products.
