Silk Chili Flakes

The Turkish variety of the Aleppo pepper, our summery Silk Chiliwas historically ground using heavy silk ropes, giving them a smooth, slippery texture. They have a warm, tomato-like flavor and a mild heat, similar to Espelette and Korean chilis. Also called marash pepper, these are great in any dish in need of a little excitement, from scrambled eggs to burgers to brownies. Our Silk Chili Flakes are naturally preserved with a little bit of salt and sunflower seed oil to keep them fresh and flavorful. Perfect for cooking or finishing.

Silk Chili is botanically identical to the Aleppo pepper, which has been cultivated in Syria for centuries. Due to the ongoing violence of the Syrian civil war, true Aleppo chili is unfortunately no longer available for import.
