Chilli Crushed
Short description
Powder gives you heat. Flakes give you heat and presence - those visible, seed-speckled bursts of red that tell you exactly what a dish contains before it even reaches the table. That textured quality is the point. AliBaba Chilli Crushed are 100% dried red chillies (Capsicum annuum), coarsely crushed to include both skin and seeds.

Description
Powder gives you heat. Flakes give you heat and presence – those visible, seed-speckled bursts of red that tell you exactly what a dish contains before it even reaches the table. That textured quality is the point. AliBaba Chilli Crushed are 100% dried red chillies (Capsicum annuum), coarsely crushed to include both skin and seeds.
No salt. No anti-caking agents. No fillers. A sharp, lingering heat with subtle smoky sweetness underneath. Sourced globally and packed in Italy to EU purity standards – clean and potent, exactly as it should be.
How to use it?
- The table condiment: The flake format lets every person control their own heat level at the table. Put the bag out and let guests finish their own plate.
- Pizza, pasta and eggs: A pinch over aglio e olio, a fried egg or a margherita transforms the dish instantly. The original use in Southern Italian cooking, and still one of the best.
- Infused oils: Warm flakes gently in olive oil on the lowest heat for 15 minutes, cool and strain. The result is a deeply flavoured oil for cooking, drizzling and dipping.
- Dry rubs: The flakes hold their texture in a spice rub, giving meat and fish a speckled, visual heat coating before the grill or oven.
★
PRO TIP Add to hot oil at the very beginning of cooking, before any other ingredient goes in. That brief sizzle in fat blooms the heat and unlocks a richer, more complex chilli depth than simply stirring in later ever produces.
