Description: Our Red Pepper Flakes are created from crushed dried cayenne peppers. A member of the nightshade family, cayenne is native to South America and now grows in tropical and temperate areas around the world.  Capsaicin, Cayenne’s main active ingredient, has many healing benefits. Applied topically, it blocks a body chemical integral to the transmission of pain impulses. Studies have demonstrated its value in alleviating pain and discomfort from rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, psoriasis, headaches, diabetic neuropathy, and shingles. For cooking, Red Pepper Flakes spice up Mexican and African dishes, are great sprinkled on marinara and pizza sauces, as well as grilled meat, vegetables and more.
