Description
Achieve the perfect balance of floral fruitiness and searing heat with the 2026 industry standard for sauce production: Fiery Farms Orange Habanero Pepper Mash. Distributed by ChickenPieces.com from our Calgary warehouse, this 18.7 L (5 Gallon) industrial pail is a mission-critical asset for Canadian hot sauce artisans and large-scale food processors. Unlike frozen or dried peppers, this fermented mash captures the soul of the habanero. The natural fermentation process breaks down the pepper's sugars, resulting in a tangy, probiotic-rich base that enhances the "shelf-stability" and flavor complexity of your final product. This mash consists of crushed peppers and salt, providing a ready-to-use foundation that eliminates the labor-intensive washing, de-stemming, and grinding of fresh produce.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this mash "Ready-to-Eat"?
While it is food-safe, this mash is a concentrated ingredient. It is very salty and extremely hot. It is intended to be diluted with vinegar, water, or other ingredients to create a finished sauce or marinade.
How much salt is in the mash?
Most Fiery Farms mashes contain approximately 10-12% salt by weight. This is necessary for the fermentation process and preservation. Be sure to account for this salt content when calculating your final recipe seasoning.
Does this mash contain seeds?
Yes. This is a "whole-pepper" mash, meaning it includes the seeds and membranes where a significant portion of the capsaicin (heat) resides. If you require a completely smooth sauce, we recommend straining the final product after cooking/blending.
