Royal Command Aleppo Pepper 400 GR - Authentic Chili Flakes

Royal Command Aleppo Pepper, also known as the Pul Biber or Halaby pepper, is a staple of Levantine and Middle Eastern cuisine. These semi-dried, coarsely ground chili flakes are prized for their complex, oily texture and a flavor profile that perfectly balances mild heat with fruity, raisin-like sweetness and a hint of cumin-like earthiness. Unlike standard red pepper flakes, Aleppo pepper is processed with salt and oil, giving it a unique "salty-spicy" tang and a deep burgundy color.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How spicy is Aleppo pepper? It has a moderate heat level, typically measuring around 10,000 Scoville units. It is much milder and fruitier than standard cayenne or crushed red pepper flakes.

Is it very salty? Aleppo pepper is traditionally cured with salt and oil to preserve its color and texture. While it adds a savory note, it is not an alternative to table salt.

Why does it feel slightly moist? This is a hallmark of high-quality Aleppo pepper. The natural oils and the processing method keep the flakes supple and "oily" rather than bone-dry.

Can I use this as a substitute for Paprika? Yes, it can replace paprika if you want a similar color but with a bit more heat and a tangier, fruitier finish.

How should I store the 400 GR jar? To prevent the oils from going rancid and to keep the spice vibrant, store it in a dark pantry away from the heat of the stove.

Is this product gluten-free and vegan? Yes, Royal Command Aleppo Pepper is 100% plant-based and naturally gluten-free.
