Chili Flakes

Chili Flake is a dried, crushed form of red chili used around the world — from Italian and American pizza to Korean gochugaru and Turkish pul biber — known for adding heat, color and a fruity or smoky note to dishes. It is a concentrated spice that also provides a notable amount of fiber (27.2g per 100g) for a seasoning and is a source of vitamin A and minerals such as manganese and copper. In addition to capsaicin-driven heat, dried chili flakes contain antioxidant compounds including carotenoids and other polyphenols that contribute to color and potential antioxidant effects.
