Pul Biber (Red Pepper Flakes)

Pul biber is produced from semi-dried Capsicum annuum peppers grown in Turkey's southeastern provinces — particularly Urfa and the broader Southeastern Anatolian pepper belt. The peppers are dried, deseeded, and crushed to a coarse flake with a characteristic oily texture from the natural pepper oils retained in the skin. Available in standard red pepper flakes (mild-medium heat), Urfa isot (dark, smoky, low heat), and Aleppo-style (fruity, medium heat) varieties.

One of the most widely used spices in Turkish and Middle Eastern cooking — sprinkled on eggs, grilled meats, mezze, and flatbreads, and used as a seasoning ingredient in sauces and marinades. Growing demand across European food service and specialty food retail as Turkish and Middle Eastern food culture spreads. Available in retail jars and bulk bags for food service and spice manufacturing.
