Crushed Red Pepper -Fine Cut
$6.99 – $14.99
Like salt and pepper, crushed red pepper are a staple in most homes. In the US, red pepper flakes, along with Parmesan cheese, has become as common in pizza parlors and Italian style restaurants. Our Crushed Red Pepper have a 35-40K SHU, which means they pack some heat! For comparison, jalapeño has anywhere from 2500-10K SHU. Our fine-cut crushed red pepper are perfect for adding to sauce or any other dish where less texture is required. They’re smaller cut than regular crushed peppers and a bit more red in color.
Crushed Red Pepper contain both the dried flesh of the pepper and the seeds. Both are cured and lightly toasted to create a smoky and spicy pepper flake. These pepper flakes provide a medium all-purpose heat – use on pizza, pasta, baked potatoes, macaroni and cheese, soups, salads, grilled meats, tacos and nearly everything else.
A little history lesson on Crushed Red Peppers:
When we think of Crushed Red Peppers, we think of Italian cuisine. However, if you’ve ever visited northern Italy, you most likely have never came across Red Pepper Flakes making their way onto slices of pizza, and you won’t find them added into the sauce either. It is believed that Crushed Red Pepper on pizza and pasta can be traced to the late 1800s in southern Italy, where the people of this region enjoyed adding a bit of spicy heat to their dishes. Researchers who have studied early South Italian immigration to America have found that it was common for these early immigrants to grow hot peppers in their backyard gardens, so adding them to their home made pizza seems quite logical.
