African Chili Ground – 2 oz

I must have gotten a bad or old batch. Instead of the exotic flavor in the whole kind, this powdered version smelled and tasted exactly like potting soil (aka dirt). The only difference is it was a little spicy, like regular ground black pepper, when I tasted it. Not at all what it should taste like.

I have never used this spice before, but it is a wonderful addition to any recipe that calls for pepper. Pepper's brother from another mother, a slight zest, and distinct aromatic bite! Definitely a must have in a culinary artist kitchen, or a mommy who wants to add that depth of flavor.I would like to add, that I have not tried the whole peppercorns, but hope to one day, to compare it! Of course it is known fresh is always best with spices** still I encourage those to broaden your spice rack, and utilize your own creativity.

This is a great product. I can't really taste the habanero flavor you get with fresh peppers and it has a bit of a smoky flavor so it does not go with everything, but the things it does match well with are amazing. I need to make larger batches because I am no longer the only one in the family that will eat it. It is a great way to add heat without having to deal with sugar/corn syrup or vinegar associated with hot sauces and it is faster than chopping up peppers. I would recommend getting a shaker to use to apply this to food, a heavy pour from the pouch it comes in might get a little exciting.

Very spicy..but I love spicy food so this works for me...wakes up flavor of dishes..I have used on my moi moi, Akara, pepper soup ..It gives an authentic and unique taste plus aroma.. Different from regular habañero ( I would say this is spicier than habañero) would recommend to anyone who need to spice up their life...lol

This is a quick way to add Habanero flavoring to any dish. This does not kick a dish into Nigerian heat for hot peppers but is spicy and very flavorful. I am not afraid to use this in any dish I want to crank the heat up a little and have a wonderful habanero flavor. I see this product as Nigerian peppers, yet friendly on those who are not accustomed to eating hot, hot foods. The Iya Foods is a Nigerian based company and is well known throughout Africa. What I like about this is I can add a couple of tablespoons of this powder and have a great taste without worrying about cutting habaneros and getting the pepper oil on my hands. I would purchase this again!

It took my boyfriend like 6 months to get around to trying this yellow habanero powder I got him, but finally I can confirm it's a win! The powder is definitely spicy, but not your typical habanero flavor. It's kind of a smoky flavor? Very tasty.Be careful with the serving size. On the nutrition label it says a serving is a tablespoon, so my boyfriend put a tablespoon in a pound of ground turkey... Turns out a typical recipe calls for a *teaspoon* in a *pound and a half* of meat. It was definitely not for the faint of heart on nachos. But delicious. I'm glad it worked out, would buy again!

I like this stuff. Michael LOVES it. You see "habaneros" and expect a punch in the mouth. This is not that. It's a fragrant, almost fruity pepper that elevates shakshuka to a whole new level. I add a pinch of it into all sorts of different dishes instead of black pepper. You wouldn't know the difference if I didn't tell you what it was, except that the food just tastes better. A little goes a long way, so the pouch has lasted us for several months already. I am going to buy more soon, and will try some of this lady's other spices when I do.

I purchased this ground habanero because it is kosher certified. To me kosher certified means that the product is 100% what you order with no contamination from start to finish. it's plenty hot and goes a long way in any recipe. Customer service is always excellent with this company and I highly recommend it.
