Our Organic Red Chili Pepper Flakes are crafted with a deep respect for global culinary heritage. Made from whole, ripe organic red chilies, each batch is carefully crushed and dried to balance the intense heat of the seeds with the aromatic bite of the pods. The result is a blend of red pepper flakes that delivers a consistent, spicy warmth with a slightly fruity, complex chili aroma.
Whether you're cooking hearty chili, stirring together a robust pasta sauce, or simply sprinkling it on a slice of pizza, our crushed red pepper brings both color and character.
Our red chili flakes:
- Are 100% Organic and Non-GMO
- Crafted from Whole Ripe Peppers Only
- A Balanced Blend of Seeds and Pods
- Consistently Bold with Clean Heat
- Use Resealable Packaging for Maximum Freshness
Red pepper flakes have a storied past, beginning over 9,000 years ago in Central and South America. Spanish explorers helped spread the spice across Europe and Asia, where Indian cooks embraced it as an essential ingredient. The village of Bukovo in North Macedonia popularized the crushed form, a legacy that lives on in Southeast European cuisine today. Later, Southern Italians brought their love of chili flakes to the U.S., where it became a mainstay in Mediterranean kitchens and pizzerias.
Our Organic Red Chili Pepper Flakes are a versatile must-have. Use them to:
- Add zip to pizza, eggs, and mac ‘n cheese
- Spice up tacos, enchiladas, and homemade salsa
- Deepen the flavor of soups, stews, and curries
- Brighten up roasted veggies or grilled meats
- Infuse sauces, pickling blends, and marinades with bold heat
Common Questions
Are red chili pepper flakes the same as crushed red pepper?
Yes. Red pepper flakes and crushed red pepper are the same thing and used interchangeably.
Do red chili flakes go bad?
Red pepper flakes don't truly "go bad" in the sense of becoming unsafe to eat, but they do lose their heat and potency over time.
