Pepper flakes, often referred to as crushed red pepper, are made from dried and crushed red chili peppers, commonly cayenne, though blends may include other varieties like paprika or jalapeño. Originating from Central and South American cuisine, their bold, spicy flavor has become a staple in global cooking, enhancing dishes like pizza, pasta, stir-fries, and marinades. Nutritionally, pepper flakes are low in calories and high in antioxidants like capsaicin, which can promote metabolism and support heart health. They're also a source of vitamins A, C, and E. However, excessive consumption may irritate the digestive system or trigger discomfort for individuals sensitive to spicy foods. Versatile and vibrant, pepper flakes bring heat, flavor, and a dose of vitality to a wide range of culinary creations.
