Mildly spicy Silk Chili is the Turkish variety of the Aleppo pepper which was historically ground using heavy silk ropes to give them a smooth, slippery texture. The flavor of these chili flakes is tomato-like with medium heat, similar to Espelette and Korean chilis. These flakes add zing to scrambled eggs, burgers, or brownies. Sprinkle over pasta or pizza, add to soups and stews or use in a fresh fruit salad. They are naturally preserved with a bit of salt and sunflower seed oil, keeping them fresh and flavorful. Wonderful for cooking or finishing.
