Use it to add a delicious spiciness to veggies, meat, poultry and seafood. From your first meal of the day to the last, you'll find yourself reaching for it often. It's available in Mild, Original and Extra Hot. Original is hotter than Mild.
Note: Our extra hot is not as hot as Ghost Pepper or Carolina Reaper. We're a food, not a weapon!
How King's Pepper got its name
When customers ask how King's Pepper got its name, I tell them the quest for the savory herbs and flavorful spices like clove, nutmeg, ginger, alligator pepper and others that are found in our award-winning blend were key to the launch of the Age of Exploration. In the 15th century, bold explorers set sail around the world in search of exotic flavors in the name of their king.
Our premium blend also contains dried locust beans, or dawadawa, which means "good medicine"in Swahili. King's Pepper is good for you, and worthy of the royalty at your table.​

How To Use King's Pepper
Available in Mild, Original, and Extra Hot.
Original has more heat than Mild because of the stronger cayenne and African Bird Eye Pepper (Peri Peri).
Mild does not have African Bird Eye Pepper in it.
