Green Pepper Flakes
Green Pepper Flakes (Capsicum annuum) are a visually striking and flavor-rich spice made from unripe green chili peppers that are carefully dried and crushed. Known for their fresh pungency and vivid green color, these flakes are ideal for chefs and food manufacturers seeking to enhance both the appearance and taste of their culinary creations. Often used in salads, sauces, spice blends, and ready-to-eat foods, green chili flakes act as a natural flavor booster and a vibrant color accent.
Green pepper flakes offered with Tuna Spice assurance stand out with their low moisture content, vibrant green tone, and controlled heat level.
