Discover the Salkim Biber Chile Pepper! Originating from Turkey, this pepper is renowned for its robust flavor and versatility. The Salkim Biber pepper is approximately 6-7 cm long and 2-2.5 cm wide, with thin walls and a substantial size. Initially green, it ripens to a beautiful red hue, adding visual appeal to any dish. With a medium heat rating of 10,000 to 20,000 Scoville units, it offers a pleasant, warming sensation without overwhelming the palate. The flavor is a delightful fusion of sweetness and fruity notes, which intensifies when the pepper is sun-dried and preserved with olive oil and salt.

These peppers are perfect for seasoning lamb, goat, chicken, and vegetable dishes in Turkish cuisine. They're also ideal for sun-drying and preserving with olive oil and salt, adding depth and zest to a variety of dishes whether used fresh, dried, or pickled. The name Salkim Biber translates to "bunch of peppers" in Turkish, indicative of its clustering growth pattern. These vibrant red peppers not only enhance the taste but also the visual appeal of your culinary creations.

Thrive in well-drained soil and sunny locations for optimal growth. Regular watering and occasional fertilization support healthy development. When cultivated in pots, the plant typically reaches heights of around 60 cm, but it can grow even larger when planted directly in the ground.
