Chili Threads

Chili threads, a delicate edible decoration with a subtle heat

Chili threads are finely cut, edible chili strips with a subtle heat. They set a visual highlight on the plate and bring a fine, easily controllable spice. We pack them in our manufactory in Klingenberg am Main. A natural product with possible slight colour variations.

How to use

Chili threads work above all as a pretty edible decoration. They are wonderful on carpaccio, soups, Asian dishes, sushi and raw fish and give any dish an elegant, lightly spicy accent.

Tip: shape the threads as you like, for example into a nest or ball, and deep-fry them very briefly. This gives a fine crispness and an even more decorative result.

What makes them special?

Unlike powder or flakes, chili threads stay visible as fine strips and become a design element on the plate. Their heat is deliberately subtle, so they decorate without dominating a dish.
