About this item
Our Jimmy Nardello Sweet Pepper Flakes have tons of sweet, creamy flavor and no heat, and they are perfect for stir-fries, stews, sauces and as a mild alternative to chili flakes. They have shiny, firetruck-red skin and a super-sweet flavor and crispy texture, and they are coveted by chefs and home cooks alike. If you are sensitive to heat but love that pepper flavor, this is the pepper flake for you! Jimmy Nardello Peppers are the famous thin-skinned Italian frying peppers that pop up at farmers markets towards the end of summer. Most summers, we buy them fresh by the bagful during their relatively short season and eat our fill, then tearfully say goodbye as we wait for their arrival the following summer. Now we can enjoy their sweet taste year-round! See how this compares to our other chilis.

Customer reviews
What customers say: These sweet pepper flakes are praised for their sweet, creamy flavor and complete lack of heat, making them a versatile alternative to chili flakes. Some wish for finer flakes or a more intense flavor profile.
★★★★☆
Great for cooking
These flakes are really good in my chili and pasta sauces, adding a lovely sweet note. They do tend to clump together a little in the container, which is a minor inconvenience.
★★★★★
Mild and flavorful
Bought these for my mother who can't handle any heat but loves pepper flavor. She uses them in almost everything now, especially her scrambled eggs and chicken marinades. They truly have no heat and a wonderfully sweet profile.
★★★★★
Authentic Italian taste
I grew up eating fresh Jimmy Nardello peppers, and these flakes capture that same sweet, distinct flavor beautifully. They’re a fantastic way to enjoy the taste of summer peppers all year round. Absolutely delicious in everything.
★★★☆☆
Okay, but a bit bland
The flakes are indeed sweet and have no heat, which is as advertised. However, I found the overall flavor a bit muted compared to what I expected from fresh Nardello peppers. It's fine for a subtle addition, but doesn't really stand out in dishes.
