Product Description

Crushed red pepper flakes are a versatile spice that can be used to add heat and flavor to a wide variety of meals, including pizzas, pasta sauces, soups, and marinades. They are produced from a blend of different dried chili pepper cultivars, such as cayenne, and are often noted for their high oil content, which contributes to a spicier and more pungent flavor. The heat level of crushed chili flakes can vary depending on the specific peppers used. It is recommended to use them sparingly at first, as more can always be added to achieve the desired level of spiciness.
