McCormick® Crushed Red Pepper always starts with whole, ripe peppers. We blend the optimal levels of seeds and pods to deliver bold flavor and balanced heat. It has vibrant, red color from the flakes and is lightly flecked with yellow seeds. Crushed Red Pepper brings a slightly fruity, chili pepper aroma with a consistently spicy heat. Use to add a kick to any type of chili, from ground beef and ground turkey to vegetarian chili. A sprinkle enlivens everyday dishes of pizza, pasta sauce, eggs, mac ‘n cheese, roasted potatoes and salads. It delivers heat and vivid color to many of the world cuisines, including Thai, Sichuan, Indian and Korean. A pinch adds a fiery flavor boost to family-favorite Mexican foods like tacos, enchiladas and salsa.
