Aleppo Pepper

Warm, fruity, and gently fiery, Aleppo pepper is one of the most prized spices in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine. Named after the Syrian city of Aleppo, these sun-dried, coarsely ground pepper flakes deliver a complex flavor profile — mild heat, subtle earthiness, and a hint of raisin-like sweetness — that sets them apart from ordinary chili flakes. Rich in capsaicin, vitamin C, and antioxidants, Aleppo pepper supports metabolism, circulation, and anti-inflammatory response. A finishing spice as much as a cooking spice, it elevates everything from roasted vegetables and grain bowls to dips, eggs, and pizza.
