Description:

Crushed red pepper or red pepper flakes is a condiment or spice consisting of dried and crushed (as opposed to ground) red chili peppers. This condiment is most often produced from cayenne-type peppers, although commercial producers may use a variety of different cultivars, usually within the 30,000–50,000 Scoville unit range.Often there is a high ratio of seeds, which are erroneously believed to contain the most spice. Crushed red pepper is used by food manufacturers in pickling blends, chowders, spaghetti sauce, pizza sauce, soups and sausage.
Crushed red pepper, known for its spicy heat, comes with a range of capsicum peppers. Red pepper chilis originally start off green before ripening into an orange-red to deep dark red color, are best grown in the summer months, between 70 to 84 degrees and sunny weather. One or multiple red chiles pepper—up to four cultivars—can be used to create crushed red pepper.
Crushed red pepper contains vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin B6, fiber and capsaicin, the source of the heat in pepper chilis.
The village of Bukovo, North Macedonia, is often credited with the creation of crushed red pepper. This name now for crushed red pepper in general in many Southeast European languages.
