Native to the ancient Syrian city of Aleppo, this Eastern Mediterranean variety—also known as Halaby pepper—is beloved for its complex flavor and mild heat. The Aleppo chili pepper matures into slender, four-inch-long fruits with wrinkled, deep red skin. Traditionally sun dried and coarsely ground, it’s the source of the famous Aleppo pepper flakes, a flavorful staple in Middle Eastern kitchens. With a mild heat just above that of a jalapeño and a rich, slightly smoky sweetness, Aleppo-style pepper is the ultimate flavor enhancer. Its fruity, raisin-like notes pair beautifully with roasted meats, vegetables, and even sun-dried tomatoes. Use it wherever you’d reach for red pepper flakes or crushed red pepper—from eggs and potatoes to grilled vegetables or roasted chicken. These peppers are often transformed into versatile chile flakes that add depth without overwhelming heat. Plants are productive and reliable, maturing in approximately 85 days from transplant. For chefs and gardeners alike, this pepper offers a true taste of the Levant. Each packet contains a minimum of 25 seeds. Show more
