The spice we use
This product consists of coarsely crushed red pepper flakes and is not a ready-made seasoning blend. Its pure form allows it to be used on its own or in custom combinations with other spices. This lets you better control the proportions and the final aromatic result.
Origin and identity
The botanical species Capsicum annuum has an established place in cooking and is used in different culinary traditions. The natural raw ingredient may vary slightly in intensity, color and texture, depending on the harvest and processing.
Aroma, color and flavor
The aroma is natural and concentrated, and becomes more noticeable when the product is heated or comes into contact with liquids and fats. The color may vary slightly from one harvest to another, without affecting how it is used.
How to use it
It works well in kebabs, meat, eggs, vegetables, sauces and Eastern-style recipes. It can be added at the beginning of cooking for deeper integration or towards the end for a more distinct aromatic presence. For marinades, mix it with oil and other seasonings; for sauces, add it gradually.
Pairings
Depending on the recipe, it can be combined with pepper, cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, garlic or aromatic herbs. Each spice has a different intensity, so it is best to start with a small amount and adjust after tasting.
Natural appearance
As a natural agricultural product, it may vary slightly in color, size, shape or degree of grinding. Smaller particles may form or the product may become slightly compressed during transport. These natural variations do not affect its culinary use.
Practical use in the kitchen
Adding it gradually helps you better control the result. In dishes that cook for a long time, the aroma becomes more deeply integrated, while adding it towards the end keeps it more distinct. In dry mixes, stir well to distribute it evenly.
Where it works best
It is especially convenient for kebabs, meat, eggs, vegetables, sauces and Eastern-style recipes. Its pure form also allows you to create custom spice blends without predetermined proportions. It can be used in both everyday recipes and more complex professional preparations.
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 spoon or utensil to protect the aroma and natural texture.
Precautions
Use as a food and spice in the amounts required by each recipe. If you have a known allergy or sensitivity to this product, avoid using it. For ground forms, avoid directly inhaling the fine powder and getting it in your eyes.
