For larger servings, it’s recommended to use 5 to 10 shavings per plate. For smaller bite-size servings or drinks, 1 or 2 shavings should suffice. This allows you to adjust the chipotle flavor according to your preferences and the size of the dish.
Shelf life and storage
The Chipotle Food Crayon has a shelf life of up to 12 months. To maintain its freshness and quality, store it in its tube in the refrigerator after opening.
