Our story

The Powerful Pepper Company’s origins literally grew out of the garden. Jay and his dad bonded with a community garden plot for years and as a result, he was rewarded with a lot of old-school gardening know how. Anyone who has grown vegetables understands how productive healthy pepper plants can be, and habaneros are no different. With a few pounds coming off of four productive plants every week Jay had to scramble to find the best way to preserve all of those spicy peppers for use all year long. All of this happening long before you could just ask google what to do. With summer in full swing and mangoes in season mango habanero was a no-brainier. But one day with the smoker warming up for a pork shoulder jay had the idea to throw on his peppers in the smoke for a bit and the first version of Smoked Mango Habanero Hot Sauce was born in 2009. The rest, as they say, is history. Powerful Pepper has over 25 products across 4 distinct categories and continues to grow every year.
