Description
Capsicum Flakes are made by carefully dehydrating fresh capsicum (bell peppers or chili peppers) to retain their natural color, flavor, and nutrients. Available in green, red, or yellow varieties, these flakes are convenient, shelf-stable, and versatile for culinary use. Rich in vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, and antioxidants, capsicum flakes enhance soups, stews, sauces, pizzas, salads, and seasoning blends while supporting overall health, immunity, and digestion.
History
Capsicum, commonly known as bell pepper or chili, originates from Central and South America and has been cultivated for thousands of years. Indigenous peoples used it as both food and medicine for its flavor and health properties. After the 15th century, European explorers introduced capsicum to Asia, Africa, and Europe, where it became integral to various cuisines. Over time, dehydration techniques were developed to preserve capsicum, leading to the creation of Capsicum Flakes, which retain the vegetable’s nutrients, color, and flavor while offering convenience for culinary and health applications
