The product we use

This product consists of coarsely crushed red chili flakes and is not a ready-made seasoning blend. Its pure form means it can be used on its own or in custom combinations with other spices. This gives you better control over the intensity and proportions in your recipe.

Origin and identity

The botanical species Capsicum annuum includes many well-known pepper varieties used in cooking around the world. The natural raw ingredient may vary in intensity and color.

Aroma, color, and flavor

It has the characteristic aroma of dried pepper, and its flavor develops more fully when heated or combined with liquids and fats. The level of heat may naturally vary among different peppers and harvests.

How to use

It pairs well with meat, chicken, pizza, eggs, legumes, sauces, and marinades. It can be added at the beginning for a deeper infusion or toward the end for a more pronounced presence. For marinades, mix it with oil and other seasonings. To better control the heat, add it gradually.

Pairings

It pairs well with paprika, cumin, coriander, garlic, onion, oregano, and black pepper. It can also be used in custom blends for meat, tacos, or grilled dishes. Start with a small amount, especially if you are unfamiliar with the heat level of the particular batch.

Natural appearance

As a natural agricultural product, it may vary slightly in color, size, shape, and texture. In crushed forms, flake size may vary and small amounts of seeds may be present. These variations are normal and do not affect its use.

Practical use in the kitchen

Adding it gradually is the safest way to control the flavor. In dishes cooked for a long time, the heat and aroma blend in more, while adding it toward the end gives a more immediate impact. Stir well to distribute evenly.

Use as a seasoning

It is especially convenient for meat, chicken, pizza, eggs, legumes, sauces, and marinades. It can be used on its own or as a base for custom seasoning blends. With very hot peppers, measure especially carefully and wash your hands thoroughly after handling.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry, and dark place, away from moisture, steam, heat, and direct sunlight. After opening, seal the package tightly and use a clean, dry utensil to preserve the aroma, color, and texture.

Precautions

Avoid contact with the eyes and sensitive areas, and wash your hands thoroughly after handling. With ground forms, do not inhale the powder. If you have a known sensitivity to hot peppers, use this product with particular care or avoid it.
