Marash Pepper

lakelady · January 21, 2012

Does anyone know what this is? I frequently buy it at a farmers market here and it is sold in baggies, in flake form. I LOVE this stuff! It's a pimento type pepper I'm told, from Turkey, and it has a hot-sweet flavor. Use it in everything, chili, rice, any tomato dishes, on meats. It has a very unique flavor and I was wondering if it is a type of pepper I can grow myself.

I havent found much online except vendors selling it. I'd love to grow some and dry them if I can.
