Miras Isot Paprika Mix

Miras isot paprika, also called Urfa biber, is a special chili pepper of the Capsicum annuum type that is grown in the Urfa region in Turkey. Its taste is often described as smoky and raisin-like. Urfa biber is actually a red pepper that ripens to a dark maroon colour on the plant. Once picked, the peppers go through a two-phase process in which they are sun-dried during the day and wrapped tightly at night. The night process, called 'sweating', infuses the dried flesh with the remaining moisture of the pepper. The result is a deep purple to a dark, almost purplish black colour. Urfa biber is less spicy than many other chili peppers.
