Red pepper flakes, made from dried and crushed red chili peppers, are a versatile spice celebrated for their bold, spicy kick. Typically derived from cayenne, chile, or other red peppers, these flakes are a staple in Italian, Mexican, and Asian cuisines, adding heat and depth to pizzas, pastas, marinades, and stir-fries. Rich in capsaicin, the compound responsible for their fiery flavor, red pepper flakes may offer health benefits such as boosting metabolism, reducing inflammation, and supporting heart health. They are also low in calories and contain vitamins A, C, and E, along with antioxidants. However, their intense spice can be harsh for sensitive stomachs or individuals prone to acid reflux, so moderation is key. Whether sprinkled on dishes or infused into oils, red pepper flakes bring vibrancy and flavor to meals while contributing to a healthy and balanced diet.
