De Arbol, flakes
£2.20 – £5.90
About this product
These fiery, bright red chilli flakes from Mexico are a great all-purpose chilli to have in the pantry, and are ideal for use whenever a strong heat is needed in your dish. The De Arbol is closely related to the cayenne pepper, giving the same heat and vibrant colour, making it excellent for use in Mexican, Cajun and Creole dishes, and it is also very good used to liven up tomato-based sauces, stews and casseroles. Due to their strength, a little goes a long way, and a pinch or two will give enough heat to suit most.
Heat level – 8
