Pepper flakes, also known as crushed red pepper, are a vibrant and spicy seasoning made from dried and crushed red chili peppers. They have a coarse texture with visible seeds and flakes, offering a fiery kick and a slightly smoky flavor. Their bright red and orange hues make them visually appealing as a garnish, while their heat level can range from mild to intense depending on the variety of chili used. Popular in Italian, Asian, and Mediterranean cuisines, pepper flakes are a versatile spice that adds depth and heat to a wide range of dishes.
Experience smarter, stress-free cooking.
Store pepper flakes in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place, such as a pantry or spice cabinet, to maintain their flavor and potency. Avoid exposure to heat, moisture, and direct sunlight, as these can degrade their quality over time. For long-term storage, consider keeping them in the freezer to preserve freshness and prevent clumping.
