Crushed Red Pepper

Crushed Red Pepper

Red pepper, chili pepper or capsicum (Capsicum frutescens) is indigenous to Central and South America and was first introduced to Europe by Columbus. Today, red pepper is grown all over the world. The largest growers are India, Pakistan and China. India grows more chilies than the rest of the world combined. There are hundreds of different varieties of chilies. They vary dramatically in their size, shape, color, flavor and heat.

Red pepper is one of the most widely used seasonings for food and is considered by some to be a stimulant for the digestive system. The heat from red pepper is primarily felt in the back of the throat where as the pungency of black pepper is generally more noticeable on the lips, tongue and front portion of the mouth. We use what are known, in the spice trade, as S4 chilies for our crushed red pepper.

Silver Cloud's Crushed Red Pepper is approximately 30,000 Scoville heat units. Bright red in color, we recommend using just 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon in the typical four serving recipe. This will impart a medium level of heat. Use crushed red pepper when a recipe calls for "red pepper flakes". Try our Crushed Red Pepper in curried dishes, creamed dishes, casseroles, barbecued beef or pork, stews, soup and chowders as well as any meat, poultry or fish dish.

Why Buy Your Spices at Silver Cloud Estates?

Why buy spices online when they are so readily available at your local store? The answer is quality and price. The spices sold at your local store are often a year or two old. As spices age, they loose much of their flavor. Silver Cloud's spices are always fresh, never old. Our products are also an excellent value. When you need spices, click on Silver Cloud Estates for the freshest products at great prices.

Storing Your Spices, Herbs and Seasonings

The flavor and aroma of most spices, herbs and seasonings is imparted by the essential oils contained in them. Essential oils are volatile and over time will evaporate. As a result, during prolonged storage, spices and herbs loose much of their flavor. Here are some storage tips, which will help keep your spices and herbs fresh.

Whole herbs and spices last much longer than crushed or ground. Many people prefer to buy their spices and herbs whole and crush or grind them as needed. Herbs and spices can be crushed with a mortar and pestle, or a coffee grinder. We recommend you check your ground spices and herbs for freshness at least once a year. If no aroma is detected, they need to be replaced. Check the color of your Paprika, and Turmeric and replace these if they have faded.

Spices and herbs should be kept in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, dark place. Screw-cap containers are better than flip-top containers, because they can be more tightly sealed. Always keep your spices, herbs and seasonings away from heat. Do not store them near a dishwasher or refrigerator. While more convenient, storing them near your range is not recommended. Heat, air, and light will cause the essential oils in the products to evaporate more quickly. Store your herbs and spices away from moisture, which causes caking and loss of quality.

Do not store your spices and herbs in a window or in sunlight. Spice racks are nice, but not the best way to store your spices unless they are in a cabinet or closet. We recommend you r efrigerate your cayenne pepper, chili powders, paprika and turmeric to retain color longer.

If stored correctly, your spices and herbs from Silver Cloud Estates should remain fresh for the following periods of time:

Whole Spices - 2 to 5 years

Ground Spices - 6 months to 2 years

Whole Leafy Herbs - 1 year

Ground Leafy Herbs - 3 months to 2 years

Dehydrated vegetables - 6 months

Tip : Make a note of the date of purchase on the label; then check them once a year and replace as needed.
