Made from dried red chilies, a dash of our flakes adds a spicy zing to any dish. From pizzas and pastas to salads, small doses add a hint of flavor without overwhelming your food. For best results, add them near the end of cooking or use them as a tabletop seasoning, as excess heat may damage both color and flavour.
