I placed an order for a pound of red pepper flakes and in my confusion of precisely what I was ordering their rep Eric told me they have habanero pepper flakes too, which at first I said "OK those" but then Eric emailed me back and said habanero pepper flakes were like $26/lb! Ouch! I reverted my order to a pound of the old standby, red pepper flakes.

I've had ground Hatch peppers. The pungency and interesting taste
didn't last very long. I'd assume the flakes would last longer than
the powder. I'd get a small amount first to try.
