AKA Halaby Pepper, Pul Biber. Blunt-bottomed red pepper growing less than 2 feet tall. No staking necessary, this plant also makes a good leaf cover against sunburn. Native to Syri a and Turkey, named after the ancient city of Aleppo, once located on the famed silk road of antiquity. Used mainly in the dried, crushed form - peppers dry quickly and are not likely to go bad or mold on the drying rack. Very thin-skinned and thin-walled, so they may be readily ground through an herb cleaning screen or dry blended in a blender and made into pepper flakes to sprinkle on food as a condiment. The taste is slightly smoky, salty, sweet (sometimes described as slightly raisin or sundried tomato-like), warming, with moderate heat. 65-70 days. 10K SHUs. Show more
