Crushed red pepper, what is it?

Oakley that is awesome. I have made my own paprika but that is it.

As far as peppers for seasonings you can use any of them. Some are better than others for flavor as I understand. The main thing is that they need thin walls. Jalapeños or bells wouldn't work very well unless you have a dehydrator.

My dehydrator is temporarily out of order this summer.
I can normally dry anything.

Someone once told me they dehydrated a watermelon. Said it shrunk to the size of a quarter and was one of the sweetest things they ever ate.

I use a few sources.

MountainRoseHerb is my main source for whole spice

Kalaustyan's...https://www.kalustyans.com

They have Chlitepin and UfraBibber (a smoked Turkish pepper) I visit the NYC store but they do sell on-line

TheSpiceShop in Brooklyn (not sure on-line)

NorthBayTradingCo has some great freeze and air dried finds. Good tomato flake and powder.

That covers the main sources.

Many i pick up at International groceries but my main recipes i need consistent results and use MRHerb. Nice thing about using the date and batch # i can tweak or make a special seasonal blends like smoked pepper and roasted tomato dry rub for a winter oven roasted bbq chicken.
