Red Chili Flakes is also known as Paprika. Paprika is a spice that comes from a mild red pepper in the family Capsicum annum. Its flavor ranges from sweet and mild to hot, depending on the variety of pepper and whether the hotter seeds and spongy tissue are included. Paprika is equally valued for its taste and its bright red color, derived from capsanthin. It aprika should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark place, preferably the refrigerator. Rather than store paprika in a glass bottle, choose a container that will keep the light away. As with most ground spices, paprika will lose its flavor and potency with age. Use it or replace it within six months for best results.

The rich colouring of paprika not only enhances the visual appeal of foods, but it can also be used as a key flavoring. It goes well with just about any savory food, including vegetable curries, stews, creamy sauces, pastas, pizzas, tomato dishes and salads.For most recipes, the paprika is added near the end of the cooking process, because heat diminishes both the colour and flavour..
