🔥 [TRS] Chili Crushed: Extra Hot (100g)

Turn up the heat with the "fire-starter" of the spice rack. These Extra Hot Crushed Chillies by TRS are specifically sourced for their intense pungency and high Scoville rating. Made from 100% sun-dried red chili peppers, this coarse blend includes both the vibrant skins and the fiery seeds, delivering an immediate and lingering heat that outpaces standard chili flakes. 🌶️⚡

💡 Pro Tips for the European Kitchen

• The "Aglio e Olio" Upgrade: Infuse these flakes into warm olive oil with garlic before tossing with spaghetti. The extra-hot grade ensures your Pasta Arrabbiata has a professional, long-lasting kick. 🍝

• Homemade Fiery Chili Oil: Gently heat a neutral oil with a generous scoop of these flakes and a star anise. Strain or leave the flakes in for a potent condiment that rivals any specialty hot sauce. 🏺

• Bold Pizza Topping: Unlike standard flakes that can be mild, a small pinch of these provides a genuine spicy punch to pizzas or avocado toast. Use sparingly—they are significantly hotter than average! 🍕

🔬 The Science of the "Seed & Skin" Heat

• Capsaicin Concentration: While the red skin provides color and fruity undertones, the seeds and inner membranes contain the highest concentration of capsaicin. The crushed format ensures you get both the flavor and the maximum thermal impact.

• Maillard Enhancement: When these flakes are "tempered" in hot oil (a process known as Tadka), the heat causes the sugars in the chili to caramelize slightly, deepening the color and transforming the sharp "bite" into a rich, smoky warmth.

• Metabolic Spark: Capsaicin is thermogenic, meaning it slightly raises the body's core temperature and can boost metabolism, making it a functional spice as well as a flavor enhancer.

⚠️ Usage & Safety

• Intensity Warning: These are labeled "Extra Hot" for a reason. Start with a tiny pinch (approx. 1/8 tsp) and build up. Only the bravest "chili-heads" should use this as a direct table seasoning.

• Handling Caution: Avoid direct contact with eyes or sensitive skin after handling. The fine dust from the bag can be an irritant; consider using a spoon rather than your fingers.

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent the bright red color from fading and the oils from losing their potency.
