Chili flakes, also known as crushed red pepper flakes, are a versatile and fiery spice derived from dried and crushed chili peppers. They boast a vibrant red hue and offer a potent heat level, adding a noticeable kick to dishes. The texture is coarse and slightly crunchy, delivering both flavor and a subtle textural element. These flakes provide a fruity, sometimes smoky, and definitively spicy flavor that can range from medium to very hot depending on the type of chili pepper used. Chili flakes are a staple in many kitchens for easily adding heat to any culinary creation.

Store chili flakes in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place, such as a pantry or spice cabinet. Exposure to light, heat, and moisture will degrade the flavor and potency of the flakes. Properly stored chili flakes can maintain their quality for up to 2-3 years. Avoid refrigerating or freezing, as this can introduce moisture.
