One teaspoon of red pepper flakes is equal to 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Since cayenne pepper is very hot, it should be used sparingly and to taste.
Not generally, no. Red pepper flakes tend to be made out of chili peppers, which contain capsaicin, giving them a spicy sensation. Red bell pepper flakes do not contain capsaicin and don't have the spice of the red pepper flakes.
There is no difference as far as i know. Red pepper flakes are made from crushing dried red peppers.
You can substitute red pepper flakes for hot sauce. You can also use cayenne pepper. How much you use will depend on how hot you like your dishes. 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes or cayenne equals approximately eight drops of red pepper sauce.
Cayenne pepper is what I usually use if out of flakes - BUT, you don't need as much cayenne as the recipe calls for!!
A flake of red pepper typically weighs around 0.5 grams.
YES but cut the amount in half. If your recipe calls for one teaspoon of crushed red pepper you can do a 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne instead
The term "bell pepper" implies that it's not spicy, but yes, unless you're talking about a SPECIFIC kind of pepper (i.e. Habanero, Jalepeno) they are the same. Take care. Red pepper is also the name used to describe the hot pepper flakes used in Italian cooking. That's very different from red pepper meaning a bell pepper.
theres 30 calories in 1 pepper flake not really good for a diet but for a snack is good
try adding sugar..
That depends on the size and cut of the red pepper. One cup of red pepper strips would weigh less than one cup of red pepper finely diced.
No, crushed red pepper flakes are safe for chickens in moderation. It may actually have some health benefits for the chickens, such as boosting their immune system and acting as a natural de-wormer. Just make sure not to overdo it as it can lead to digestive upset.
