Crushed Red Chili Pepper Flakes differ from powdered chili pepper in that the former includes dried seeds. Also commonly called crushed red pepper, just a dash adds a lot of spice and heat to sausage, pizza, pasta sauce and other foods. And here’s an interesting tip: leftovers or dishes made a day in advance will have fierier flavor because more oleoresin capsicum, the active compound in peppers, will be released into the food.
Flakey red crushed chilis have a mild aroma that intensifies with heat. Crushed red chilis add color flavor and textural interest to a wide range of dishes. These are grown and harvested and ground in the United States and sourced from The Monterey Bay Spice Company.
