Aleppine Pepper

Aleppine pepper, also known as Syrian pepper or baghdadi pepper, is a dried red chili spice originating from the Aleppo region in Syria. It has a unique flavor profile—mild to moderately spicy with a rich, smoky, and slightly fruity taste. Its coarse, flaky texture makes it distinctive in appearance. Used in Middle Eastern cuisine, it adds depth and warmth to dishes like kebabs, stews, and spice blends. Aleppine pepper's moderate heat and complex flavor make it a popular choice for enhancing savory recipes without overpowering them.
