We use this in our Jolokia Dip Mix, Great Chicago Fire Steak Dust, Bhuty Mary Mix, and Ghost Curry.

Whole Chili Pods vs. Ground Chili Pepper: Chile pods keep longer than their ground counterpart, as long as several years without losing flavor and heat. However, chili peppers ground into a powder is more convenient; it is ready to use and easy to measure.
