Harvesting

The composition of organic crushed chilli flakes consists mainly of dried and crushed chilli peppers, with no added preservatives or artificial ingredients. The natural raw product makeup includes capsaicin, the compound responsible for the heat and spiciness of the chillies, as well as essential nutrients such as vitamin C, and vitamin A, and various minerals like potassium and iron. Organic Crushed Chilli Flakes are typically harvested from hot pepper plants, such as the Capsicum annuum or Capsicum frutescens varieties. These plants are cultivated in warm and sunny climates, and the chilli peppers are usually harvested in late summer or early autumn when they have reached their peak ripeness. The peppers are hand-picked to ensure the highest quality and then carefully dried to preserve their vibrant red colour and intense flavour.

The processing of organic crushed chilli flakes involves carefully grinding the dried peppers to achieve the desired flake size, ensuring that the product retains its characteristic heat and flavour. As a result, the vibrant red colour and potent aroma of the chilli flakes are preserved, making them a popular choice for adding spice to a wide range of dishes.

The organic nature of Organic Crushed Chilli Flakes means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Crushed Chilli Flakes in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.
