About Chilli flakes

Chilli flakes, also known as crushed red pepper, are a versatile spice made from dried and pulverized red chili peppers. Originating primarily from Mediterranean and Asian cuisines, they add a bold, fiery flavor to dishes ranging from pizzas and pastas to soups and marinades. The primary ingredient is dehydrated red chili peppers, often including seeds for extra heat. Chilli flakes are rich in capsaicin, the compound responsible for their spicy kick, which has been linked to metabolism boosting and anti-inflammatory properties. They also contain small amounts of vitamins A, C, and E, along with essential antioxidants. However, excessive consumption may irritate the digestive system or trigger heartburn, especially for those sensitive to spicy foods. With their ability to enhance flavors and deliver a healthful punch, chilli flakes are a popular addition to meals worldwide. Moderation is key for optimal enjoyment and benefits.
