Packaging Solutions for the Hottest Peppers
Have you ever excitedly bought fresh berries or artisanal bread and lost heart when you realized it was not packaged right? All you are left with is a box of squished produce or one that was not sealed properly to prevent that stale flavor.
The same principle applies to hot peppers. At Magic Plant Farms, we pay attention to the smallest details and that includes packing the world’s hottest peppers (and finished products) in a way that maintains their freshness from the farm to your table. We do not cut corners at any stage; only the most appropriate, moisture-resistant materials are used to encase our products so there is no oxidation, clumping, or spoilage.
Humidity-proof, UV-protective, and Antimicrobial Packaging Materials
Each of our FDA-approved materials is chosen based on how well they protect the unique characteristics of the chili product they contain, from the pungency of powders to the puree/mash forms. Using the right packaging not only helps in maintaining the quality and extending the shelf life of the products but also keeps the flavors intact until they reach the consumer.
We use food safe high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) containers to hold the chili pastes and mashes, while mylar bags and foil pouches are used for dried chili flakes and powders. Mylar provides 100% protection against light and oxygen. Our whole dried peppers come in vacuum-sealed bags.
State-of-the-art Packaging Technology
We utilize a combination of cutting-edge packaging techniques to keep our products in peak condition until you are ready to consume them. One of the key methods is nitrogen flushing, where we replace the oxygen in the packaging with nitrogen, an inert gas that drastically extends the shelf life of our dried and powdered products.
Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is also used to adjust the mix of gases inside the packaging to inhibit the growth of microbes (bacteria, mold). Vacuum sealing for whole dried chilies and flakes, and aseptic processing for chili pastes and sauces is our go-to process. Aseptic processing means sterilizing the product and the packaging separately and then sealing them in an airtight environment without relying on chemical-laden preservatives. All packaging is tamper-evident to provide visible signs if it has been opened before it lands in your kitchen.
Transparent Labeling
Every product from Magic Plant Farms comes with a clear label containing the ingredients, nutritional facts, net weight, and a best-before date as per the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (FPLA). The labeling of our chili peppers and their derivatives is closely monitored by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) as well.
Every ingredient used in the product is listed in descending order of predominance. We specify the types of chilies used (Carolina Reaper pepper, Trinidad Moruga Scorpion pepper, Habanero, Bhut Jolokia/Ghost Pepper, Scotch Bonnet pepper, and more), and note any additional spices or seasonings. This also includes information on calorie count, fats, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, and the Scoville Heat Units (SHUs) rating.
