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.

All of our seeds are GMO-free.

The jar of hot pepper flakes I made from these did not last long!

I grew these last year, they were super tasty after drying, they almost have a sweet raisen-like flavor combined with a good amount of spicy heat. Dried Aleppo peppers make the most delicious hot pepper flakes, and they were easy to dry (I hung mine) and then crush to put into a jar that sits on our table. The flakes didn't last long, we sprinkled them on everything from soup to pasta to pizza, so I want to grow more of a few more Aleppo plants this season so I have a longer lasting supply.

Made really tasty hot pepper flakes

We let these hang dry, then ground them up – they made the tastiest pepper flakes. They have a nice kick, but good flavor too. Easy to grow plants, pretty peppers.

Super Productive and Very Large Aleppo Peppers

I've grown Aleppos, which are a necessary and uniquely flavored chili for many Middle Eastern dishes, for many years and from a few different seed sources and Sandia's are by far the best. The largest Aleppo peppers I've ever seen on very healthy and productive plants. Highly recommended!

The seeds came up.

I'm very happy that the seeds came up. The plants are healthy and I'm looking forward to having Aleppo Chilies!

Aleppo Pepper the best seasoning

Last year was my first year gowing Aleppo peppers. Dried them after harvest and ground them for year long use, The give a spark to anything I use them for seasoning,

Looking forward to growing these

My family loves Aleppo peppers so we're excited to grow these in our garden next year. Thanks for adding this special pepper. We like to dry them and crush for use as pepper flakes.

I grow these for habanero hot sauce

I've found that when you combine roasted carrots, habaneros, lime juice and garlic, it will make the best hot sauce of your life. I think it's the sweetness and depth of the carrots that make the sauce even better, and pairs perfectly with the habanero heat. I got the inspiration from one of my favorite store-bought hot sauces, Marie Sharp's Habanero hot sauce. Sometimes I add some of your Chef's orange tomatoes too to make more of it, and they also give more flavor to the hot sauce and help tame the heat a bit. I grow these in my garden every year along with your orange habaneros, orange tomatoes and other hot peppers and veggies. Very reliable.

Cherokee Purple Tomato Seeds

Great germination rate!

These germinated in two days. I started them in midsummer and they fruited by late fall in my zone 10b garden and are overwintering just fine. I’ll have more to harvest by late spring. I made my red sauce for pozole for Christmas with my harvest!

Big Jim Chiles

Big Chiles with just enough heat to add to green enchilada's. The flavor after roasting is fantastic. Since green chile roasting is not a local thing in Eastern Washington we us a weed burner. The smell of roasting peppers is heavenly.
