Annam Chilli Flakes are made from dried red chilies that are coarsely crushed into bright, aromatic flakes that deliver a clean, concentrated chili flavor and noticeable heat. With a lively red color and the warm, pungent aroma of sun-dried chilies, these flakes add depth and spice to a wide range of dishes without overwhelming other flavors. They work equally well when sprinkled on finished foods to provide texture and kick or incorporated during cooking to infuse sauces, oils and marinades with steady heat.

To use Annam Chilli Flakes, start with a small pinch and increase to taste; they are ideal for sprinkling on pizza, pasta, soups, salads and grilled foods or stirring into curries, stir-fries, sauces and marinades. For a more rounded, toasted flavor, briefly bloom the flakes in hot oil before adding other ingredients; add them toward the end of cooking for a brighter, more immediate heat. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve color and flavor.
