The first thought you might have when you think of using hot pepper flakes is as an ingredient in Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes. The seasoning is used often to flavor enchilada and chili sauces, but it can also be used in other ways. You can season marinated vegetables such as beans or olives with a sprinkle of these hot flakes. Shellfish such as clams or oysters that will be breaded and deep fried taste remarkable when jalapeno chili flakes are added. Sandwich fillings that feature beef, ham or other pork cuts will benefit from an addition of this spice. Asian dishes that feature eggplant stir-fried will welcome a sprinkle of hot pepper flakes. Although it may not be the first ingredient you think of when preparing marinara sauces, if the sauce was missing the final little touch of hot pepper flakes, it would take away from the flavorful taste experience you have come to expect.
In addition to uses in your kitchen, organic jalepeno pepper flakes may also offer stimulant, tonic and digestive properties.
