Chile de Arbol Pepper Flakes

Chile de Árbol is small, bright red, and famously fiery — the kind of pepper Ned calls “a spark plug in chile form.” These slender chiles deliver a clean, sharp heat with a toasted nuttiness that hits fast and lingers. Heat: Hot (15,000–30,000 SHU).
Keeping them as whole flakes protects their natural oils until you’re ready to cook. Grind them fresh and you get that signature árbol bite at full strength — brighter, hotter, and more aromatic than pre‑ground chile powder.
