Pepper, Crushed Red

Crushed red pepper, derived from dried chili peppers (Capsicum annuum), delivers bold heat and vibrant flavor to savory dishes. Rich in capsaicin, this potent compound supports circulation and may aid digestion when used regularly. Ideal for seasoning soups, sauces, pizzas, and global cuisines, it adds depth without overpowering other ingredients. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light to preserve potency. Not recommended for those with sensitive digestive systems or acid reflux; use sparingly if pregnant or nursing. Always consult a healthcare provider before using as a therapeutic supplement.
