Pepper flakes, also known as crushed red pepper flakes, are a versatile spice made from dried and crushed chili peppers. These vibrant flakes offer a medium to hot level of spice, delivering a fruity and slightly smoky flavor with a noticeable kick of heat. The appearance is characterized by small, irregular pieces of red pepper with seeds included, adding to the texture and heat intensity. Widely used to add warmth and zest to various dishes, pepper flakes are a staple in many kitchens, offering a convenient way to enhance flavor and spice levels.

Store pepper flakes in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place, such as a pantry or spice cabinet. Properly stored, they can maintain their potency for up to two to three years. Avoid storing them near heat sources or in direct sunlight, as this can cause them to lose flavor and color. Check occasionally for clumping or changes in aroma, which may indicate spoilage.
