Description

Size:2 Ounce Our cold smoked chili flakes are second to none we have ever sampled. Full of natural smoke flavor and ready to add amazing zing to your recipes. Perfect smoky and spicy finishing salt for your favorite beef, lamb, pork, chicken, seafood, egg or vegetable recipe, or add it to the table at your next barbecue or dinner party. Red pepper flakes are made by roasting chile peppers, and then crushing them. The high percentage of seeds that remain account for the heat of the final product. The peppers used, mostly California, cayenne, or New Mexico chiles, range from 16,000 to 20,000 Scoville units. (Green bell peppers score 0 Scoville units; jalapenos 3,000-5,000;) When it comes to red pepper flakes, freshness matters; stale pepper that sits around in your pantry definitely loses its kick. Store pepper in an airtight jar or in the freezer. After a year, you either need to replace the spice, or increase the quantity when you cook with it to compensate for the diminishing pungency.
