Sonoran Spice Ghost Pepper Powder 1.5 Oz

I like to keep habaneros around for a couple of dishes I cook, but sometimes the store doesn't have them or I run out. I researched habanero powders, but most people say they aren't very hot. I found this; some "tough guys" say this isn't very hot either, but I thought I'd give it a whirl. It is pretty strong! It is a very fine powder; this is not like a salt or pepper, more like talc. I see people trying to sprinkle this on food as a condiment, which is fine but it is so powdery I don't think that's the best use. This is good for stirring into sauces, or beans, while cooking. It doesn't have much flavor on its own, but definitely delivers a good kick of pure heat. Combine it with a habanero sauce to make it stronger. Very good value, a little goes a long way.

This stuff is amazing but be careful with how much you use! It's some HOT STUFF!

I have been buying spices from Sonoran spice for many years now. The quality of their products are always top-notch. If you are not sure about the heat intensity of the ghost pepper powder, I will just tell you that it is very very hot. Use with caution.

Great item. Loved it.

Ghost pepper isn't the best tasting pepper, but it also isn't bad. The closest I can get to a description is to describe other peppers. Black pepper has an earthy/Smokey flavor. Jalapeno tastes more like green vegetables with spice. Habanero has a very slight increase in fruity/acidic flavor. Habanero without spice, tastes really good. Ghost pepper's flavor profile is a mix between black pepper and jalapeno. It's not bad, just not great. It shines as a none-offensive very spicy powder. From the Sonoran's brand, their ghost pepper powder is roughly 4x hotter than their habanero powder. I like it because I like the spice. But if you are looking for great taste, then go for their habanero powder. For eggs, I really like their jalapeno powder. As far as ease of powdering, the dust will float a bit and get your nose. Sprinkle carefully. This is true for all of Sonoran's products.

Hot, hot, hot!!!!! But sooooo good!

...which is exactly what I wanted. Use very sparingly and build on it.

It’s great! Very spicy! I wish the opening holes are slightly smaller so we wouldn’t be worried about pouring too much out every time. A little goes long way!
