🌍 Product Description
Turkish Red Pepper, or Pul Biber, is the prized chili flake of Turkish cuisine—bright, fruity, and warm, with a subtle touch of smoky sweetness. Milder than cayenne and more flavorful than common red chili flakes, these oil-cured crushed peppers are sun-dried and coarsely ground, giving them a soft texture and deep color.
Used in everything from kebabs to lentil soup to Turkish eggs, it’s the go-to pepper for cooks who want flavorful warmth without overwhelming heat. At Herbivore Spice, we bring you an authentic, high-oil content blend—direct from Turkey’s chili-growing heartland.

📖 Spice Story
In Turkey, Pul Biber isn’t just a spice—it’s a table essential. Found in every home and restaurant, it’s spooned over food the way salt and pepper are in other countries. Our Turkish Red Pepper comes from chili peppers grown in the Kahramanmaraş region, slowly dried under the sun and crushed with care. The result? A spice that’s deeply flavorful, warm, and endlessly versatile. One taste and you’ll know—this is not your average red pepper flake.

At Herbivore Spice, we bottle that tradition—pure and powerful.
