Chili flakes, also known as crushed red pepper, are made from dried and finely crushed chili peppers, typically a variety of cayenne. A staple in many cuisines worldwide, chili flakes add heat and depth to dishes, featuring prominently in Italian, Asian, and Mexican cooking. Rich in vitamins A, C, and antioxidants, they may promote a healthy immune system and combat inflammation. Capsaicin, the compound responsible for their spiciness, is known for boosting metabolism and may assist in pain relief. Chili flakes are naturally low in calories, fat-free, and contain small amounts of fiber, but their intense heat can irritate sensitive stomachs or aggravate acid reflux for some individuals. Sprinkle them on pastas, pizzas, stir-fries, or marinades for a fiery kick and depth of flavor that enhances any dish. Use sparingly to control sodium levels if combined with salted foods.
