Marash Chile Flakes

The marash chile is a staple in Turkish cuisine and has a mild heat along with nice earthy complexity. The heat level is moderate and these chunky flakes disperse the flavor evenly into your food. Use marash in your favorite meat rubs, sauces and soups. For those who like an extra sprinkle of heat at the table they make a beautiful and flavorful garnish. Find out more >>
