Some chile flakes bring plenty of heat but overpower everything else on the plate. The Spice Lab Aleppo Pepper Chili Flakes offer a more balanced approach with mild to moderate heat, gentle fruitiness and a tangy, slightly earthy flavor that complements food rather than dominating it.
Deep red flakes add color and warm chili character to grilled meats, chicken, seafood, vegetables, eggs, pizza, pasta and sauces. With subtle cumin-like notes and a smooth finish, Aleppo pepper is equally at home in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cooking or simply sprinkled over everyday meals.

With over 35 years of smoking experience, we started DDR BBQ Supply with a simple goal: to help others cook better barbecue. We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
