The Aleppo chili pepper, also called Halaby or Turkish pepper, has a salty flavor with subtle notes of raisin, pomegranate and even sun-dried tomato. Though this pepper originates in the Syrian town of Aleppo, today we source it from a Turkish region just south of Aleppo. Use this chili pepper anywhere you would use the crushed red chili flake; add it to pasta, pizza, chili or anywhere you want to add a flavorful mild heat. These chiles average around 2,500-7,500 Scoville heat units. Ingredients: Chiles, vegetable oil, salt.

I think they’re delicious.
These are the BEST. Perfect spice for our taste. Not really hot, but a mild- medium heat, adds so much to, pasta, pizza and soups!
Every batch of Aleppo pepper flakes is different. This one was very good, but not as aromatic as some others. Still, I've already used most of the package -- time to order more. I use these pepper flakes often. Try them on oatmeal -- really.
I was so anxious to try these and glad I did! These peppers add just the right smokiness and heat without overpowering or dominating. These will definitely become a staple in my pantry!
The Aleppo pepper is fantastic- it smells amazing and has a smoky, spicy flavor. I find myself adding it to dishes much more often than regular crushed pepper or cayenne.
