About Crushed red pepper
Crushed red pepper, also known as red pepper flakes, is a blend of dried and coarsely ground red chili peppers, most commonly cayenne. Originating from Mediterranean and South American cuisines, it’s a staple in Italian, Mexican, and Asian dishes, adding vibrant spice and heat. Along with capsaicin, the compound responsible for its fiery kick, crushed red pepper contains antioxidants, vitamins A, C, and E, and trace amounts of minerals like potassium and manganese. These nutrients support immune health and reduce inflammation. Its bold flavor allows you to enhance taste without relying on salt or fat, making it a healthier seasoning option. However, its high heat can irritate sensitive stomachs or exacerbate heartburn for some individuals. When used in moderation, crushed red pepper is a flavorful and nutrient-packed way to spice up your meals.
