How to make flexbox items the same size?

by

I want to use flexbox that has some number of items that are all the same width. I’ve noticed that flexbox distributes the space around evenly, rather than the space itself.

For example:

.header {
  display: flex;
}

.item {
  flex-grow: 1;
  text-align: center;
  border: 1px solid black;
}
<div class="header">
  <div class="item">asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdf</div>
  <div class="item">z</div>
</div>

The first item is a lot bigger than the second. If I have 3 items, 4 items, or n items, I want them all to appear on the same line with an equal amount of space per item.

Any ideas?
