Customer reviews
What customers say: These chili flakes offer a fierce, bright, and often smoky heat, balanced by lush, fruity aromas. Some find the smoky flavor overpowering or the heat less intense than anticipated.
★★★★★
Great spice for everything
I love the smoky flavor these flakes have. They're spicier than serrano, which is what I was looking for, but still have a nice depth to them. This container has been a great addition to my spice cabinet.
★★★★★
Excellent authentic spice
These flakes deliver on the fierce, bright heat and delicious smoky, fruity aroma.
★★★★★
Authentic taste
These are the real deal if you appreciate a true chili flavor from Central America. The heat hits you just right, and the subtle fruitiness really enhances the overall experience. Definitely buying this again when I run out.
★☆☆☆☆
Not as described for heat
I expected a fierce heat like cayenne, but these flakes are nowhere near that level for me. The flavor is fine, but the spice is too mild for what I was looking for. It's a disappointing purchase considering the description.
