The product we use

Origin and identity
The botanical species Capsicum annuum includes many well-known pepper varieties used in cooking around the world. The natural raw ingredient may vary in heat and color.
Aroma, color, and flavor
It has the distinctive aroma of dried pepper, and its flavor develops further when heated or combined with liquids and fats. The heat level may naturally vary between individual peppers and harvests.
How to use it
It goes well with tacos, meat, eggs, sauces, dips, vegetables, and marinades. It can be added at the beginning for deeper integration or toward the end for a more pronounced presence. For marinades, mix it with oil and other seasonings. To better control the heat, add it gradually.
Pairings
It pairs well with paprika, cumin, coriander, garlic, onion, oregano, and black pepper. It can also be used in custom blends for meat, tacos, or grilled dishes. Start with a small amount, especially if you are unfamiliar with the heat level of the specific batch.
Natural appearance
As a natural agricultural product, it may vary slightly in color, size, shape, and texture. Crushed forms may contain flakes of different sizes or small amounts of seeds. These variations are normal and do not affect how it is used.
Practical use in the kitchen
Adding it gradually is the best way to control the flavor. In dishes that cook for a long time, the heat and aroma become more integrated, while adding it toward the end gives a more immediate impact. Stir well to distribute it evenly.
Use as a seasoning
It is especially handy for tacos, meat, eggs, sauces, dips, vegetables, and marinades. It can be used on its own or as a base for custom seasoning blends. Extra care is needed when measuring very hot peppers, and hands should be washed thoroughly after handling.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry, and dark place, away from moisture, steam, heat, and direct sunlight. After opening, seal the package tightly and use a clean, dry utensil to help preserve the aroma, color, and texture.
Precautions
