I've got to get up on this powder game- only have experience with some 90,000 SHU Cayenne powder (don't laugh). I always spend my extra $ on sauces from the local spot (Puckerbutt) - an instant fix.
*wasn't going to post this, but people here are very open/honest!!* Just had a thought....
Perhaps I have a subconscious block to the terms 'powder & flakes' resulting from a very stupid/ entirely self-destructive year dance with the 'White Lady' (ie: cocaine) in my early teens - 14 -. The terms powder AND flakes were so very common on my very numbed lips..haha. But this pepper powder is the reeaally good stuff, eh!?!
It actually is a wonderful source of vitamin C (another slang term..lol..)
I've definitely taken note of the recommendations of the vendors listed in this post- thanks everyone! Take care!
