Red pepper flakes, also known as crushed red pepper, are a versatile and fiery spice derived from dried and crushed chili peppers. These vibrant flakes, typically a mix of different chili pepper varieties, offer a noticeable heat level that can range from mild to quite intense. They add a visual appeal to dishes with their bright red color and offer a satisfying textural contrast. The flavor profile is characterized by a pungent warmth and subtle fruity undertones, making them a great way to easily introduce a chili pepper flavor.

Store red pepper flakes in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place, like a pantry or spice cabinet, away from direct sunlight and heat. Proper storage will help maintain their potency and prevent them from clumping or losing flavor. They generally last for 1-2 years when stored correctly.
