Grown in southeastern Turkey, in the city of Şanlıurfa, the Urfa Biber is a dried chile that's used to make our flakes. Most of the agricultural areas in this region are on or around the Harren Plateau, far from the sea but close to the Euphrates River, which shapes the climate in the area. The winters are cold, and the summers are scorching and arid, making it the perfect environment to grow chiles. A natural stand-in for crushed red pepper, this wonderfully well-rounded spice is a favorite of professional chefs worldwide. It's used to bring a smoky flavor with hints of coffee, chocolate, and a slight raisin-like sweetness to everything from hearty stews to Middle Eastern yogurt sauces to roasted veggies.
Product Benefits: Chile flakes can have several health benefits, including reducing inflammation, boosting, immunity, and aiding digestion.

FAQ
How old are these spices?
We purchase what we need every year right after the spices are harvested. These spices are as fresh as you can get. They are not sitting in a warehouse for multiple years. The oldest spices we carry will be one year old compared to the commodity market which warehouses spices for 10+ years before selling them to you.
Are these spices certified organic?
Unfortunately we do not have any certifications at this time but most of our spices are organically grown and all of them are non gmo. Each ingredient can be traced back to its origin. Email support@spicetribe.com for any questions.
