Eat with caution but enjoy the complex flavor provided by Magic Plant Farms' peppers. Use our premium quality dry chili pepper products once and you’ll be hooked forever! This pepper is perfect in generous doses for a specific aromatic kick in pastas, pizzas, stews, and roasted vegetables. For a true taste of Italy, just add more directly on top!

Seeking More Heat?

Customize your blend: If you love the savory-sweet profile of the SWEET Calabrian but want a more aggressive burn, you can mix our ground powder with our hotter varieties like Red Habanero or Ghost Pepper.
