Aleppo Pepper Seeds

The Aleppo pepper, also known as the Halaby pepper, is commonly used as pepper flakes in Mediterranean cuisine. It has a beautiful deep red color, rich fruity undertones and an aromatic flavor. It is popular around the world as an alternative to crushed red pepper flakes and paprika powder. It also makes a delicious Aleppo spice mix.

Aleppo peppers have a sweet taste with a nice kick of heat. Peppers mature from green to a ruby red color and have a unique, sweet earthy flavor. Plants will grow up to 4’ tall and produce 2-4” long pods.

Capsicum annuum (80-90 days) Heat Level: Hot, Scoville: 10,000

The packet contains 10 seeds.

In early spring, start seeds indoors 8 weeks prior to warm nightly temperatures. Place the seeds in sterile media and cover 1/4” deep. Provide 85°F bottom heat, bright light, and always keep moist. Seeds will germinate in 14 - 21 days. Transplant seedlings into pots and grow until there are 6 true leaves on the plant. Plant them directly into rich soil, 30” apart, or into large 5-gallon containers. Harvest chiles when they are red.

The Aleppo pepper is special. Depending on what pepper flakes you prefer, an Aleppo-type pepper will have more depth than the average red-pepper flake—typically they add a salt-like texture with a slight smoky flavor and subtle hints of sun-dried tomato, and even an earthiness to it.
