Not only are these red flakes festive in appearance, but they liven up recipes and bland foods.

Chile peppers have become the most used spice around the world and the variety of flakes has increased as well. You will find them anywhere peppers are cultivated.

These chiles are about a 3 to 4 on a heat scale of 1 to 10. Red pepper flakes are not made of one type of chile, but from various combinations of ancho, bell, cayenne and more. Crushed red pepper flakes are used in pickling, chowders, gumbos, spaghetti sauce, pizza sauce and sausage. They are also great in cream and cheese sauces, omelets and marinades. Use about a ½ tsp. to equal the power of one small dried chile. We also carry Aleppo crushed red pepper flakes.

“Woe to the cook whose sauce has no sting.”
