Dried Chilli Flakes - 200g

SOME REVIEWERS HAVE NOTED THAT SOME OF TONGMASTERS PRODUCTS ARE "STRON ON TASTE" AND WARN TO TAKE IT EASY ON QUANTITY.I DISAGREE, DON'T TAKE IT EASY. THEY ARE STRONG ON TASTE BUT NOT IN A BAD WAY. DESPITE BEING A DRIED PRODUCT THE QUALITY OF THEIR PRODUCT IS STREETS AHEAD OF THE TINY SHWARTZ OR OWN LABEL DRIED HERBS AND SPICES IN SUPERMARKETS.THESE ARE CLEARLY MANUFACTURED IN A BETTER MANNER AS THEY ARE NOT "UNIFORM" LIKE SUPERMARLETS THINK WE WANT........ THE GRANULES/GRAINS/FLAKES ETC ARE OF VARIED SIZE AND THE STRENGTH OF FLAVOUR IS BECAUSE THEY ARE "MUCH MUCH FRESHER PRODUCTS". tHEY DO NOT TASTE LIKE THEY HAVE MASS PRODUCED AND OVER DRIED AND BLED OF THEIR FLAVOUR. THE REAL FLAVOURS COME THROUGH WITHOUT THE HASSLE OF HAND CHOPPING. WHICH IS A BLESSING FOR ME AS DISABILITY LEAVES ME WITH CUT FINGERS AND CHOPPED OF FINGERNAILS ALL TOO OFTEN.I HAVE MADE SOME BEAUTIFUL FLAVOURED OLIVE OIL WITH THE TONGMASTER PRODUCTS I HAVE BOUGHT AND THE FLAVOUR IS INTENSE AND FULL ON IN A SHORT TIME, PROVING THAT THEY HAVE BEEN PREPARED IN A MANNER THAT HAS PRRSERVED A HIGH CONTENT OF THE ORIGINAL NATURAL FLAOURS OF THE INGREDIENTS.i WAS ASTOUNDED AT THE SHEER VOLUME YOU GET FOR THE MONEY TOO, i COULD GIVE AWAY WHAT I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO PUT INTO GRINDERS AND MY SPICE RACKS AS I STILL HAVE ABOUT 40% OF THE PRODUCTS LEFT, AND THESE ARE STILL BETTER VALUE THAN THE LITTLE GLASS POTS FROM SHOPS. PLUS IF YOU DON'T WANT THE INTENSE FLAVOURS THAT I ABSOLUTELY LOVE, THEN YOU WILL ALSO USE LESS. NO PROBLEM THERE THOUGH AS THE BEST BEFORE DATES ARE OVER A YEAR LONG.BUY SMALL FIRST TO GAUGE WHAT YOU WILL GET, I AM SURE LIKE ME YOU WILL BE VERY PLEASANTLY SURPISED.OH AND BY THE WAY, i ORDERED THEM IN THE SMALL HOURS OF THE MORNING ON A THURSDAY AND THEY CAME BEFORE LUNCH ON FRIDAY! NOT EVEN 48 HOURS ON FREE DELIVERY. FAB SERVICE, CAN'T WAIT TO SPEND MY MOENY WITH TONGMASTER FOR SOME MORE PRODUCTS WHEN BAR-B-Q SEASON STARTS :-)KEEP UP THE GREAT SERVICE AND WHATEVER YOU DO IN YOUR MANUFACTURING DON'T CHANGE IT, I'LL NEVER BUY SUPERMARKET JARS AGAIN ESPECIALLY SCHWARTZ OVERPRICED LOW ON TASTE OVER PROCESSED TAT (IN COMPARISION TO THESE GOODS)VERY HAPPY I READ THE REVIEWS AND DECIDED ON TONGMASTER AS THE PLACE TO BUY FROM :-)

Good value

I was in Istanbul recently and often when out for a meal there was a bowl of chilli flakes on the table, I loved it. Now I have a bowl of my own and can add them to a meal when in the mood. Excellent product.

Delivery took an age so one star down for that but these chilli flakes are really good quality and hotter than normal chilli flakes from say a supermarket so go steady when using them.

These chili flakes have no heat to them at all. I wanted to buy them in bulk because I usually go through those tiny Sainsburys bottles in a few weeks. But these are just absolutely awful. I used as much of these flakes over one portion of pasta as I normally do over five with the Sainsburys flakes. Didn't feel a bit of heat. I'm not even a freak of nature who likes unnaturally spicy food. The food at Nandos makes me cry, for reference. This was just a bad buy.

Excellent value for money, great taste.

Handy to have them in bags - my friends thought they were brilliant.

Reading Rick Stein's " Venice to Istanbul" so many of the recipes contain chilli flakes which I've never used. Hence my acquisition but they are as yet untried. They arrived very swiftly and there are a lot for a small price
