# Chile Powders

When you want that pinch of spice, Chile Powder is the way to go. Chile Powder, not to be confused with the blended products called [Chili Powder](https://spicesinc.com/blends/chili-powders), is the powder of a specific chile pepper. The fine powder means these spices are easy to blend into sauces or mix into a dry rub, so you can add just the right amount of unique pepper flavor profiles to your dishes. They’re also easy to regulate; just measure out as much or as little as you want. Start with a small amount and taste as you add. Because they’re ground we recommend buying these powders in smaller sizes than other chile products; the exposed surface area means that they will not hold their freshness as long as similar products that have more heft to them. We also carry a full line of [Chile Flakes](https://spicesinc.com/spices/chiles/chile-flakes) and [Whole Dried Chiles](https://spicesinc.com/spices/chiles/whole-dried-chiles) for you to explore.
