Red chili flake is a dried condiment of crushed red chiles with visible seeds and brittle skin pieces. It delivers a quick, prickly heat with a lightly fruity aroma and scatters evenly over hot foods. Cooks sprinkle it on pizza and pasta, stir it into sauces and soups, and bloom it in oil for marinades and chili oil; sold in small jars or packets with flake size and heat varying by blend.
Producers typically make it from ripened cayenne-type chiles that are dried and mechanically crushed, a style popularized in Italian-American kitchens and pizzerias. Regionally distinct versions appear across Mediterranean, Turkish, Korean, and Chinese cuisines, reflecting local chile varieties and processing choices.
