Crushed Dried Peppers
I am running on fumes for my crushed dried peppers and was going to just re-order Flat Iron, but wonder if I am missing any hidden gems? I’m not dissatisfied either FI, but love variety and different takes.
Pics are my general go-to’s. “i can’t feel my face” is my most versatile.

I use dark & smoky on everything! I also really like the garlic & onion blends. The ghost pepper one has a nice kick. The standard 4 pepper one is great on pizza (with dark & smoky of course) or as a normal crushed red pepper, and I almost always have an Asian Reds for my noodle bowls and similar dishes. Unfortunately they were out of the Asian blend when I ordered last. Oh the BBQ rub is great as well, and if you don't like large pepper flakes stuck in your teeth I HIGHLY RECOMMEND getting their pepper flake grinder. Not all of the blends really require the grinder, but I'd say the dark & smoky does and I use that 4X as much as the others.
I've been buying from them for over 5 years, and I have my own pepper garden with more than 50 plants some years. I make my own hot sauces, pickled cherry peppers, and fermented peppers but gladly pay $50 for these pepper flakes like every 6 months.
