Bodrum Pul Biber – Turkish Red Pepper Flakes, 100 g
Pul biber is Turkish crushed red pepper: coarse, oily, deep-red flakes with a fruity flavour and a gentle, warming heat. This 100 g pack from Bodrum is the everyday chilli flake of the Turkish kitchen, sprinkled over eggs, kebabs, soups and salads, and stirred into butter for a sizzling finish. Outside Türkiye it is often sold as Turkish chilli flakes or Aleppo-style pepper.

Pul biber vs ordinary chilli flakes
Standard supermarket chilli flakes are usually hotter, drier and include lots of pale seeds. Pul biber is made from sweeter red peppers that are dried, de-seeded more thoroughly and often rubbed with a little oil and salt, so it is softer, redder and more aromatic. You can use it more generously for colour and flavour without overpowering a dish. It is also different from isot (Urfa pepper), which is dark, almost black and smoky.
How to use pul biber
- Eggs: over fried eggs, çılbır or a pan of menemen
- Pul biberli tereyağı: sizzle in melted butter and spoon over mantı, yoghurt or kebabs
- Soups: a pinch on lentil soup (mercimek çorbası) just before serving
- Flatbreads: sprinkled over lahmacun and pide
- Salads and marinades: in kısır, ezme, shepherd's salad and meat marinades
