Both pepper mash and pepper puree are made by washing, crushing, and blending fresh peppers with salt and/or vinegar. They have the same flavor and aroma, but the main difference is the texture.

Your decision on what to use depends on your preferred final product texture.

Pepper mash has a chunky texture with visible seeds, skin, and pepper particles.

Pepper puree also contains pepper skin, pepper seeds, and pepper flesh but has a smooth texture with no visible seeds, skin, or chunks. It’s smooth like a paste.
Both shelf stable with a duration of 24-36 months or more, depending on the PH level.
