The purple ripened Isot chile of southeast Turkey is carefully dried to retain its oils. Its deep, rich beefy flavor and low heat delivers a meaty layer to any dish. Try on roasted vegetables, meats, even salad dressings.

"My go-to chile flake -- smoky, sweet, and earthy with a color reminiscent of red wine. This Turkish chile is not only extremely aesthetically pleasing, but is a welcome diversion from the ubiquitous crushed red pepper flake. Perfect for topping baba ghanoush or adding zest to a humdrum weeknight salad." - Ray's Staff Picks, 2021
