Woodland Gourmet™ H81DI Red Pepper, Crushed, Pizza Style, Irradiated, 30-lb Bag

Red Pepper Flakes are made from the Capsicum frutenscens chile peppers, a small red chile pepper with a moderate to spicy heat. Dried and crushed into irregularly shaped flakes, the dark red pepper color and yellow seeds add vibrancy to any product while the spicy, peppery essence complements deep tomato and olive oil flavors of Mediterranean cuisine. Ranging from 15,000 to 45,000 on the Scoville Heat Scale, the crushed pepper flakes contain moderate heat similar to tabasco pepper and cayenne pepper. Irradiated for a longer shelf life, red pepper flakes are an alternative to cayenne pepper. Known as the pizza style pepper, the spicy condiment is not just for pizza. Native to the cuisine of southern Italy, crushed red pepper accommodate various different pastas, soups, and sauces for a fiery kick. Perfect spice for added heat and flavor to Mexican style products and foods.
