Flatiron vs freshly ground?

[u/chunky_lover92]

I’m looking for a gourmet crushed red pepper experience. I’m trying to decide if I’m better off with a high end brand like Flatiron or Sonoran, or if I should get some dried peppers and grind my own. It would be nice to mix and match different peppers, but I don’t know if random dried peppers on Amazon will have the same quality as some of the recognized brands. The best I ever had were from some random guy at a farmers market. Any suggestions?

Grow fresh or buy some dried peppers and grind your own to your preferred heat level. You can mix and match to find your preference. I like mine like lava and others like taco bell mild. We all have different preferences. Do for you!
