FAQs
How hot is it?
Lively, sinus-clearing heat that fades fast—add gradually and taste.
Creamed vs hot?
Creamed is milder and silky; hot is leaner with more bite.
Can I cook it?
Best added at the end—high heat can dull the flavour.
Gluten free?
Often yes, but always check the label for thickeners/additions.
