Production planning estimate
Plan around lb of dried chili peppers
A starting estimate is 0.7 lb of chili powder per lb of dried peppers. Work back from how much you go through in a year to see how much that takes to make.
What you'll need
— lb of dried chili peppers
Planning note: Grind fully dried chili peppers to a powder. Most store-bought blends also mix in cumin, garlic powder, and oregano, but a single-pepper version is easy to make at home.
