Made by sun-drying red chillies and crushing them into coarse flakes, closely identified with the Kahramanmaraş and Aleppo region. Because oil is worked through it, it stays moist and glossy; the heat is moderate and the taste fruity. Figures are per 100 g.

Consumption tip

Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
