What is Aleppo pepper?
The Aleppo pepper, also known as the Halaby pepper, is a brick red chilli pepper that is dried and used as a spice in Middle Eastern cuisine. It is a cultivar of the
Capsicum annuum pepper, developed in the Syrian city of Aleppo, which has long been considered a spiritual home of Middle Eastern cuisine, thanks to its prominent position on the Silk Road.
The name Aleppo pepper is derived from the plant’s native city, as is the name Halaby pepper, which comes from Aleppo’s Arabic name,
Halab. Until recently, the majority of Aleppo peppers came from Syria, but many crops have been destroyed during the ongoing civil war, and some farmers have moved production across the border into Turkey.
