Sourced from southeastern Turkey, this distinctive chili has dark burgundy color, irregularly sized flakes, and complex salty-sweet-smoky-sour flavor profile. We love sprinkling some on scrambled eggs and avocado toast, and it can be used to season grilled meats, stews, and chilis, or to add a hint of heat to chocolate-based desserts.
