How It's Made
The Three Kings blend—Ghost, Scorpion and Reaper, meticulously extracted, blended and tempered in our proprietary infusion—finished with pineapple essence. Made in limited batches of 50 that have sold out every single time.Flavor
A bright pineapple spike hits first, then quickly softens into the moderate, cascading heat of the Three Kings peppers. The pineapple is more aroma than outright flavor—it subtly transforms how other ingredients taste rather than dominating them.The Story
Pineapple Express started as an experiment for a customer in Hawaii that became a friend. Mark, I’m talking about you. What happens when you add pineapple essence to the Three Kings blend? The result surprised us. The pineapple doesn’t make it taste like pineapple. It opens up flavors, lifts dishes, and adds an aromatic dimension that makes everything more interesting. It’s become the secret weapon of bartenders and home cooks who know.

The Peppers
No Scoville rating on the finished salt. The heat comes from these peppers, meticulously extracted, blended and tempered in our proprietary infusion:
Ghost Pepper
1,040,000+ SHU of robust, fruity heat that spreads quickly then rests evenly on the palette, accentuating flavors and textures while incinerating tension away into the ether.
Scorpion Pepper
1,800,000+ SHU of sweet, earthy flavor with saturated depth, and a swelling, relentless sting that builds steadily, then smolders and chars throughout the body, bringing agony induced euphoria.
Reaper Pepper
2,200,000+ SHU of pungent floral aroma strikes immediately and drives stabbing, sharp heat to its violent peak intensity in an instant and then quietly tapers into a crucible of delirium.
Where It Shines
- Rim a cocktail glass for margaritas, mai tais, or piña coladas
- Finish grilled shrimp, pork chops, or fish tacos
- Sprinkle on ceviche, poke bowls, or tropical salsas
- Add to pineapple-based marinades and glazes
- Top fresh fruit, grilled pineapple, or coconut rice
- Elevate stir fry, fried chicken, or ramen
Precision Dosing
The precision-milled push grinder delivers over 500 measured presses per fill—about 3 cents per press. Each press is an exact dose, not a pinch of powder, and the heat stops when you stop pressing.Why Not Just Hot Sauce?
Unlike liquid hot sauce or chili powder:
- Nothing artificial—real ingredients, real infusion
- No dilution of dish
- Heat stops when you stop grinding
- Shelf-stable, refillable, travel-friendly

Ordered this one a whim after hearing about it on the Cleared Hot podcast. Love the idea of having "travel spice" whenever I go places.
Got for son and his wife and we all loved the flavor. Great way to add flavor and a heat to your dishes.
I've been using their hot salts for a few years now. Love the extra kick and depth of flavor it provides to all sorts of meals.
