Best Batcha Biber Brownies ever!

Spice is perfect for enhanced Biber brownies!

A wonderful unique and delicious taste.

This has become my latest "favorite" spice! It has a floral peppery taste unlike any other "pepper". I've gone through nearly half the small jar since I received it.

A treasured spice

Wow! I bought this Urfa Biber as I had a recipe listing it. What a delightful surprise. It's warm, spicy, rich and complex flavor instantly became one of my fav spices. I use it on everything from veg to meats, seafood, eggs and more. One reviewer used the word, 'Magic'. I have to agree! I've never found anything else like it. I love Aleppo pepper, which is similar and also a favorite spice, but Urfa Biber is unique unto itself. I continue to keep a supply in my kitchen. Thanks Spice House for the good selection of usually hard to find spices, the friendly service and quick shipping too.

Terrific spice!

Tastes good in everything and therefore I use it all the time.

Amazing

I love these as a sprinkle-over topping for mixed green lunch salads, dinner veggies. I refer to them as “Justin Bieber “ chiles… 😂
