Red chili flakes are made from dried and crushed red chili peppers, often a mix of varieties such as cayenne or bell peppers. Known for their vibrant flavor and fiery heat, they are a staple in cuisines like Italian, Mexican, and Indian, adding a spicy kick to sauces, pizzas, pastas, and marinades. Rich in capsaicin, the compound responsible for their heat, chili flakes may support metabolism and provide anti-inflammatory benefits. They also contain vitamins A, C, and some antioxidants, contributing to overall health. However, their intense spice can irritate the stomach or exacerbate acid reflux in some individuals, so moderation is advised. Versatile and packed with flavor, red chili flakes are an easy way to enhance dishes while offering a small boost of nutritional benefits when used thoughtfully.
