Usage
The Chipotle Food Crayon is applied by sharpening shavings directly onto plates, desserts, or drinks when serving them. As the shavings come into contact with the food, they release the chipotle flavor, adding a smoked taste to the dishes.

Serving size
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.
