Hand-Crushed Chili Pepper Flakes, Premium Regeneratively Grown Capsicum annuum (Bulk 1/2 lb, 1 lb, 5 lb)

🌶️ Hand-Crushed Chili Pepper Flakes, Grown on Our Own Farm

Our crushed chili pepper (Capsicum annuum) is a premium culinary spice we grow on our own farm in Colorado and hand crush from whole, sun-ripened pods. Because we crush the whole pod, every jar carries a natural mix of flake and seed, the form home cooks and chefs reach for to finish pizza, eggs, roasted vegetables, sauces, and infused oils. The flavor is warming and savory rather than harsh: a tomato-forward, earthy backbone with a clean finish of rock salt and kidney bean.

We believe flavor and potency begin in the soil. Our own farm in Colorado earned a groundbreaking Haney Soil Health Score of 25.4, a number that surpasses the soil biology measured in pristine forest land, and that living soil is what we grow this pepper in. Healthier soil grows more complex, more aromatic, more potent plants, and you taste that complexity in the depth and brightness of every pinch.

Every lot we ship is backed by its own Certificate of Analysis verifying purity, potency, and the absence of contaminants, and we publish each batch's COA so you can confirm the exact lot you are receiving on our chili pepper growing guide. It is part of a culinary lineup you can explore across our bulk herbs and spices collection.

Safety & Good Practice

Chili pepper has a long, well-loved history as a culinary spice and is generally recognized as safe as food. Its heat comes from capsaicin, which can irritate skin, eyes, and mucous membranes, so wash your hands after handling and avoid touching your eyes. Add gradually and taste as you go, since heat builds.

Some people with acid reflux, GERD, IBS, ulcers, or a sensitive stomach find spicy food aggravating, so they may prefer to use it sparingly. If you are pregnant, nursing, managing a medical condition, or taking medication, consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before making chili a regular part of your diet. Keep out of reach of children and pets, and store away from heat and light.

Frequently Asked Questions

How hot are these crushed chili pepper flakes, and how should I use them?

We grade these as a premium, everyday culinary heat: warming and savory rather than searing, with a tomato-forward, earthy backbone and a clean finish of rock salt and kidney bean. We hand crush whole pods, so you get a natural mix of flake and seed, which lets you start with a light pinch over eggs, pizza, or roasted vegetables and build the heat to your taste. For a deeper, rounder flavor, we like blooming a spoonful in warm oil before cooking.
