Pungent powder is a term used to describe a variety of spices and seasonings that have a strong, sharp flavor. Chili powder, which is made from dried and ground chili peppers, is a popular pungent powder. Mustard, which is made from the seeds of the mustard plant, is another type of pungent powder. Dry mustard is a form of mustard powder that is made from ground mustard seeds and has a more intense flavor than regular mustard. All three of these pungent powders are commonly used in cooking to add flavor and spice to dishes.
