About Red peper flakes

Red pepper flakes are a spicy seasoning made from dried and crushed red chili peppers, often a blend of cayenne, bell, and other varieties. Known for their bold heat, they hail from cuisines with a rich tradition of spice, such as Italian, Mexican, and Asian cooking. A staple in pizza parlors and a versatile ingredient, they add complexity and warmth to dishes like soups, sauces, and marinades. Nutritionally, red pepper flakes are low in calories and contain capsaicin, a compound linked to boosting metabolism and reducing inflammation. They're also rich in vitamins A, C, and antioxidants. However, excessive consumption may irritate the stomach or cause discomfort in sensitive individuals. Packed with flavor and health benefits, red pepper flakes are a fiery addition that can enhance both the taste and nutritional profile of your meals.
