Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
Crushed red pepper flakes — visible heat with texture, the spice that belongs on the table as much as in the cooking. Clean, bright, and immediate in a way that ground cayenne isn't.
Red pepper flakes deliver heat differently than ground chili — the visible flakes release slowly as they cook, providing bursts of spice rather than an even background heat. That makes them ideal for finishing dishes, adding to oil for infused heat, or pressing into protein crusts where you want spice to be present in specific bites. Fine Spice sources red pepper flakes for their clean, bright heat without the dustiness that lower quality flakes develop. This is the spice that belongs in a jar on the kitchen counter alongside the salt and pepper.
Dried hot red peppers, crushed
All Fine Spice blends are made with minimal sea salt and no artificial ingredients, preservatives, or fillers. Small-batch, chef-developed, and formulated for flavor first.
HOW TO USE
Add to pasta sauces, marinara, or olive oil as it heats. The flakes bloom in the oil and release their heat into the fat, which then distributes through the entire dish.
Keep in a small jar on the table alongside salt and pepper — sprinkle over pizza, pasta, eggs, or grain bowls to individual heat preference at the moment of eating.
Heat in olive oil over low heat for 3-4 minutes until fragrant, then cool and strain. The infused oil works as a finishing drizzle, dipping oil, or base for cooking.
