Distributed by ChickenPieces.com from our Calgary warehouse, this 1 kg (2.2 lbs) professional-grade bag is a mission-critical asset for Canadian chefs who demand flavor-forward intensity. Unlike standard chili flakes that provide generic heat, Caribbean Habanero flakes are prized for their distinct apricot-like fruitiness and floral aroma. The "Flake" format provides a superior visual texture and a "burst" of heat that is more controlled and impactful than fine powders, making them the ultimate finishing touch for premium dishes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are these flakes hotter than standard pizza flakes?
Yes, significantly. Standard "Crushed Red Pepper" is usually made from Cayenne (30k-50k SHU). These Habanero flakes are roughly 5 to 10 times hotter and should be labeled as "Extra Spicy" for your customers.
Can I use these in a spice grinder?
Absolutely. While they are already in a flake format, you can grind them further to create a coarse "rub" consistency for meats and vegetables.
Who is the authorized supplier for Fiery Farms in Canada?
Chicken Pieces is a leading wholesale distributor based in Calgary. By ordering through us, you ensure product authenticity, domestic shipping rates, and specialized support for the Canadian food industry.
Safety Warning:
Due to the high capsaicin content, these flakes can cause skin and eye irritation. Do not touch eyes after handling and consider wearing a mask if mixing large quantities to avoid inhaling pepper dust.
Why buy from ChickenPieces.com instead of a US wholesaler?
We are 100% Canadian-owned and based in Calgary. Shipping 1 kg of high-intensity pepper flakes from the US involves high freight costs and potential agricultural delays. By ordering from our local stock, you get fast, tracked domestic shipping with zero hidden duties.
