Chili powder comes from different chili peppers; grown, dried and crushed into a powder. Its used to season many Mexican, Chinese and American Indian foods. There is a capsacin scale that determines how HOT the pepper is when used as a seasoning, i.e. cayenne pepper. Many fresh peppers are also used to spice up foods, such as pimiento or jalapeno.

Roughly 4 dried apples equals one cup.
There are many types of red peppers. Tabasco is made from red peppers (cayenne). Some jalapenos are red. Pimentón peppers come from Spain. Hungarian Paprika is made from red peppers, and red bell peppers are grown in many countries from Holland to South America. There are probably red peppers grown in Peru, but many others aren't.
No, There is only one type of Jalapeno. But it is part of the Capsicum annuum species which includes Bell peppers and Cayenne. There are many different kinds of Chili peppers.
In general, dried herbs are stronger than fresh herbs and it may be safe to say 2 tsp. of dried herbs equals 4 tsp. of fresh herbs.
Fresh parsley or dried. - They are different
Red Pepper is the name that the American Spice Trade Association uses for all hot spices made from the ground fruit of plants that produce what we usually call "chili peppers." The generic term "Red Pepper" can apply to a lot of different varieties of pepper, or mixtures thereof. You may have noticed that different brands have a different level of spice.Some manufacturers use the term Cayenne Pepper to refer to a hotter version of that generic "Red Pepper" label. That's why you can sometimes find ground cayenne pepper in the grocery store labeled Ground Red Pepper (Cayenne) or just Cayenne Pepper.Unfortunately, the exact ingredients of a bottle of Red Pepper *or* Cayenne Pepper are going to vary by manufacturer. To be fair though, the same is true of a can of corn.Here are some other opinions from our community:Red pepper is such a loose term, it's hard to be sure what someone could mean, especially as usage varies from place to place. It often means a hot pepper such as cayenne. Paprika is also a red pepper, and in Britain, a red pepper would be a sweet red pepper.Cayenne are peppers. They are really hot and cayenne powder is ground dried cayenne pepper.Chili Powder is a mix of chili pepper powder and other spices like cumin and garlic powder and sometimes other spices like cinnamon or nutmeg (no lie). But chili powder can be really hot depending on the ratio and kind of chilies to other ingredients in the mix. Also, paprika and cayenne can be components of chili powder.Both red peppers and cayenne peppers are in the same family, but cayenne pepper is much more spicy than just red pepper.Regular red pepper is just used for culinary purposes like a Pizza seasoning.Red peppers tend to be somewhat sweeter than green peppers.Capsicum is the chemical in the hot peppers which make them hot. Capsicum is also used in topical pain creams to alleviate muscle pain. However, cayenne peppers are better known as red hot chili peppers, so they shouldn't be the exact same thing.Cayenne Pepper is the combination of many spices including red pepper and others so the difference is quite clear. But either of them are used in many recipes including continental.
No, but with more time, the peppers will spread a little more of their 'spice' around. Dried peppers may take hours in a liquid to rehydrate and release the capsicum 'hot' as well as the many rich flavors in different peppers. Even fresh peppers, if left whole or only cut minimally may need some time to release 'all that they can be.' In Thailand they usually crush peppers in a mortar and pestle which speeds the integration of flavors.
Just make a new one
1 tsp dried parsley = 1 tbsp fresh parsley
Usually about three times as much, but if a recipe calls for fresh, do your best to use fresh. Dried rosemary is one of those herbs that does not do very well dried. Fresh vs dried makes a huge difference. Also, depending on the recipe, if you're using dried rosemary, don't leave it in the food. Let it sit to soak the flavor in and then strain/take it out.
