Description
Green Chili Flakes are made by dehydrating fresh green chilies to retain their natural color, pungency, and flavor. They are a convenient ingredient for adding spiciness to curries, sauces, soups, snacks, and seasoning blends. Rich in vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, and capsaicin, these flakes not only enhance culinary dishes but also support metabolism, immunity, and overall wellness.
History
Green chilies (Capsicum annuum) originated in Central and South America and have been cultivated for thousands of years. They were introduced to Asia and Europe in the 16th century, quickly becoming a staple in culinary traditions for their heat, flavor, and medicinal properties. To preserve their pungency and convenience, drying and flaking techniques were developed, leading to the creation of green chili flakes. These flakes retain the natural heat, color, flavor, and nutrients of fresh green chilies while offering a long shelf life and ease of use. Today, green chili flakes are widely used globally in kitchens, food processing, and seasoning blends.
