Even so, most of us are familiar with the terms "crushed red pepper" or "red pepper flakes." It's not so much a chile as a style. A jar filled with red flakes intermingling with yellow seeds is front and center in most spice cabinets. No particular chile pepper is used, rather just a combination of C. annuum and C. frutenscens varieties, often ancho chiles,

In the US most of those are of the cayenne variety. (used to work at a pizza place.)
all I can say is those shakers dont put out enough pepper flakes, when shaken. you have to unscrew the lid to get a decent amout of pepper flakes.
