Why We Love These Spices

Heat Flavor Profiles

Not all heat tastes the same. Here you’ll find spicy seasonings that range from bright and tangy to deep and smoky, with plenty of nuance in between. Some bring citrusy zip or vinegar-forward punch, others lean fruity and slightly sweet, while some deliver slow-building warmth layered with garlic, herbs, or smoke. Whether you prefer sharp heat that hits fast or a richer, lingering spice that builds as you eat, these seasonings let you choose heat based on flavor, not just spice intensity.

Tangy: Buffalo Wing Seasoning
Smoky: Chilean Merquen Seasoning
Fruity: Crushed Aleppo Chiles
Sweet: Nashville Hot Fried Chicken Seasoning
Garlicky: Harissa Spice Mix
Citrusy: Thai Green Curry

Finding Your Heat Level

Everyone's heat tolerance is different, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. That’s why our spicy seasonings span the full spectrum—from gentle warmth to intense, mouth-tingling fire. Some blends add just a touch of spice to everyday meals, while others are designed for true heat lovers who want bold, unapologetic intensity. Whether you’re just getting started with spicy flavors or chasing your next fiery favorite, these blends make it easy to explore your heat level with confidence.

Low Heat: Ancho Chile Powder
Medium Heat: Hatch Green Chile Powder
Hot Heat: Piri-Piri Seasoning
Intense Heat: Ghost Pepper Chile Powder (Bhut Jolokia) or Habanero Chile Powder

Cooking with Hot & Spicy

A little heat goes a long way, and how you use it matters. Hot and spicy seasonings can be added early to build depth and warmth, or sprinkled in at the end for a sharper, more immediate kick. When cooking with super-spicy blends, start small and adjust as you go; heat intensifies as dishes simmer and flavors meld. These seasonings shine in marinades, rubs, sauces, and finishing touches, giving you full control over how bold or restrained you want your final dish to be. When working with hotter blends and chile-forward spices, avoid touching your eyes or face, and wash hands and surfaces thoroughly after use. For very intense seasonings, consider using a spoon or gloves when measuring to keep heat where it belongs: on the plate.

Thoughtfully Packaged

Our jars and bags are designed with both the planet and your kitchen in mind. Recyclable aluminum lids and recycled bags help reduce waste, while peek-through windows and lid-top label stickers make spices easier to find and use. Now packaged in a cleaner, elevated aesthetic that matches the quality of what's inside every jar.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the hottest spices and peppers used in cooking?

Popular fiery spices include ghost pepper, habanero, cayenne, chipotle, and jalapeño, along with spice blends like Harissa, Piri-Piri, and Berbere. These range from slow-building warmth to intense heat, allowing you to choose the level that suits your taste and recipe.

How can I add heat to dishes without overpowering them?

Start with small amounts and taste as you go. Sprinkle cayenne or chili powder into soups, stews, and sauces, or use spice blends like Harissa or Piri-Piri for more complex heat. Combining spicy seasonings with acidic ingredients (lemon, lime, vinegar) or fat (oil, butter, cream) balances the burn.

What hot spices work best in different cuisines?

Harissa: North African stews, roasted vegetables, and marinades
Berbere: Ethiopian dishes like lentil stews, meats, and sauces
Piri-Piri: Portuguese or grilled chicken and seafood
Cayenne or chili powders: versatile for American, Mexican, and Asian dishes

How do hot spices affect flavor beyond just heat?

Hot spices add complexity, aroma, and depth in addition to spiciness. For example, smoked chipotle adds smoky warmth, while cayenne adds sharp, bright heat. Using a variety of hot spices allows you to layer flavor and create more dynamic dishes.
