The Spice Way Premium Aleppo Pepper Ground 4 oz Crushed Mild Chile Flakes

This Aleppo pepper is exactly the way it should be - fresh, pure, and delicious. I love Aleppo pepper and was let down by another brand that arrived poorly sealed and moldy, not to mention full of additives. This product is packed in a sealed, reclosable pouch, with one side clear so you can see what you get. There are no additives or mysterious extraneous ingredients, just beautiful red pepper flakes dried to the perfect moiture level. The taste is sensational! Super - fresh, with just the spice level you'd expect for this pepper variety. This brand has gained a new, long-time customer!

Oh my!!! I have started enjoying cooking and eating a Mediterranean diet and found this pepper to be the one ingredient I can't do without! Aleppo Pepper is used in so many Mediterranean recipes. I love it sprinkled on meats and veggies. Perfect on hummus. Not spicy hot but adds a building warmth. This "Spice Way" brand is becoming my all time favorite. Always fresh, flavorful and fragrant, the three F's I look for in spices and herbs. Spice Way packaging is foil, air tight, zip-lock pouches, that keeps the moisture out and the flavor in. This 4 oz, pouch cost me about $7 making it a great value.

This is a well-priced, well-flavored Aleppo pepper (pul or halab biber): for those who already know it, buy it, you'll not be disappointed. Aleppo is a flavorful but not hot-hot pepper, it’s spicy but much milder than cayenne though it has a richer pepper flavor. I like being able to use a bit more Aleppo pepper & get it well-mixed in the food, bringing the flavor without overheating anyone unless I want to bring the heat. I use aleppo pepper almost exclusively when 'red pepper' flakes or cayenne are called for. What is it? This is a powdered spice made from halaby peppers, grown & eaten throughout the Near East. Peppers are influenced by their soil so there are some differences between halaby peppers grown in Aleppo or Izmir or Jerusalem or Idaho: this difference in taste is negligible in a dried, powdered product no matter what some chef-of-the-moment might say. Fresh peppers, yes; dried, not so much, unless this same chef can identify the variety of garlic in garlic powder by taste. Hope you enjoy your cooking!

I have never cooked with Aleppo Pepper before, but I really liked it in the dish I made. It had some spice but nothing that is too much. It added a nice flavor to the chicken I made. I paired it with the Sumac spice, and it was very good. It seemed very fresh and sealed nicely in package.

Not very hot , more of a medium spice

High quality and fresh. Essential for Turkish şiş (Kebab)

Here's an ingredient I had never used but now I'm obsessed. Flavorful and versatile.

I ordered this brand because it had good ratings from folks who seemed to be experienced cooks plus it was a good value. My understanding is Aleppo is a more complex flavor of a mild chili. It's not supposed to be hot on its own, but can be combined with hotter chili flakes if desired. I used it on smoked chicken legs grilled on my Ninja Woodfire Grill. I loved the complexity of flavors it imparted on the chicken legs. I will also be using this as a finishing spice on certain dishes. I think it would be great on pizza! When I want a hotter chili with less complexity, I'll use standard red pepper flakes. As a side note: tasting it straight out of the bag does not bring forth the interesting flavor medley nearly as much as when cooked in the food or topped on already prepared food.

You can find the same quality in supermarkets for way less !
