Plants are bushy and productive, bearing fruit that ripens from green to a deep red. Dried and crushed, the peppers become pul biber flakes with a bright, fruity flavor, mild tang, and medium heat that builds gently without overwhelming food. Traditional flakes are often lightly salted and mixed with a little oil, though a pure dry flake works just as well. As an open-pollinated heirloom, it breeds true from saved seed. Grown as a warm-season annual, tender perennial in the warmest climates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn the Garden \u0026amp; Kitchen\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePul biber flakes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry ripe peppers, remove the stems, and crush into homemade Aleppo-style flakes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGround powder:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grind dried peppers into a fruity, medium-heat chili powder.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEveryday seasoning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sprinkle on eggs, hummus, roasted vegetables, meats, and pizza.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarinades and rubs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Add to marinades, spice rubs, and sauces for fruity warmth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrying and ristras:\u003c\/strong\u003e String ripe peppers to dry for long-term storage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeed saving:\u003c\/strong\u003e Save seed from open-pollinated fruit to grow the same pepper year after year.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Aleppo Pepper \"Halep Biberi\" Seeds\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStart method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Start indoors 8 to 10 weeks before last frost; peppers need a long, warm season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGermination:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sprouts in 7 to 21 days in warm soil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Germinates best between 75 and 85°F.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTransplanting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Move outdoors after all frost danger has passed and soil is consistently warm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Space plants 18 to 24 inches apart to allow full, bushy growth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun; heat and sun ripen the fruit and build flavor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich, well-drained soil with good fertility supports the heaviest fruit set.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWatering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Consistent, even moisture; avoid letting plants dry out during fruiting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDays to maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Typically ready for ripe red fruit in roughly 80 to 100 days from transplant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Let fruit ripen fully to deep red on the plant before picking for drying.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrying:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry fully in the sun, on strings, or in a dehydrator before crushing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wear gloves when picking and crushing, and avoid touching your eyes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore You Close This Page\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the pepper behind a spice-rack classic, fruity, tangy, and medium in heat, and far better when you dry and crush it yourself.
