Q:  Hi Dave,

What is pepper mash and how would it differ from using pure pepper powder or fresh pods?  Your web site was very helpful in locating fresh peppers and mash, but I cannot find a supplier of habanero powder.

Thanks.

Dan

 

A:  Hello Dan:

Mash is fresh chiles crushed in a hammer mill and mixed with up to 10 percent salt as a preservative.  It ferments and after aging is used to make hot sauces when diluted with vinegar.  I think that The Chile Guy wholesales habanero powder.  Reach them at

www.chileguy.com or chile486@aol.com.
