McCormick Red Pepper, Ground 16oz 453g
McCormick Ground Red Pepper is made from dried, ripened red chili peppers that are finely ground to deliver a hot, sharp pungency and consistent heat. Traditionally associated with highly pungent Capsicum varieties, this spice provides both mouth and throat heat with a bold, assertive character.
The flavor profile is intense and direct, with earthy, musty undertones layered with floral, spicy, and hay-like notes. This combination gives ground red pepper its distinctive bite and makes it a powerful seasoning when used sparingly.
Ground red pepper is widely used to add zest and heat to meats, seafood, deviled eggs, soups and chowders, sauces, gravies, salad dressings, poultry, game, vegetables, tamales, curries, ceviche, dips, spreads, Bloody Marys, omelets, soufflés, croquettes, guacamole, barbecue, and pizza sauce. It is an essential ingredient in many Mexican, Italian, Caribbean, and Indian dishes.
This 16 oz bulk container is well suited for frequent use in home kitchens, restaurants, and foodservice environments where reliable heat and consistent flavor are important.
