DD> Gonna depend on the heat level of the chile flakes. Some places sell a

We went to Costco's a week ago.  A bottle of sriracha powder jumped into
our basket.  I had never seen that in powder form.  It has a good taste
and then heat at the back of the mouth.  This is the Kirkland brand, but
we found that there are dozens of varieties on the market elsewhere --
all with different formulations.  The Kirkland brand sriracha powder
lists sugar as first ingredient, followed by sriracha sauce.
