About Crushed red pepper flakes

Crushed red pepper flakes are a blend of dried and coarsely ground chili peppers, typically including cayenne, making them a spicy and versatile seasoning. Originating in Italian cuisine, these fiery flakes are now a pantry staple worldwide, used to add heat and flavor to pizzas, pasta sauces, marinades, and more. Rich in capsaicin, the compound responsible for their heat, they offer potential health benefits like boosting metabolism and promoting heart health. They also contain small amounts of vitamins A and C. While generally low in calories and free from harmful additives, their spiciness can cause discomfort for those with sensitive stomachs or acid reflux. Crushed red pepper flakes pack powerful flavor in minimal amounts, making them a zesty addition to your diet without significantly impacting calorie intake or macronutrient balance. Enjoy them sparingly to spice up meals while reaping their subtle health perks.
