Aleppo pepper

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heat: Medium

The Aleppo pepper is a variety of Capsicum annuum named after the town Aleppo in northern Syria^{[citation needed]}. Most Aleppo peppers are grown in Syria^{[citation needed]}.

[edit] Characteristics

It has a moderate heat level with some fruitiness and mild, cumin-like undertones. The most common form found is crushed flakes, which are typically slightly milder and more oily than conventional crushed red peppers, with a hint of saltiness and a slightly raisin-like flavor.

Aleppo pepper usually refers to the dried and coarsely ground spice, produced in Syria.
