Dried capia pepper is the dried form of sweet peppers and is a widely used ingredient, especially in Turkish cuisine. Capia pepper is generally red in color, has thin flesh and a sweet taste. Dried capia peppers are collected in the summer months and dried in the sun or in the oven. As a result of the drying process, the color of the peppers becomes darker and their flavor intensifies.

Dried capia peppers can be used in various dishes and appetizers. They are especially preferred in stuffing. Delicious and aromatic stuffings are obtained when they are filled with stuffing and cooked. Additionally, dried capia peppers can be used in the preparation of various sauces and add a special taste to dishes.

Using the dried form of these peppers is an ideal method to obtain the flavor of fresh pepper throughout the year, when fresh peppers are not available in the summer or in the winter. One of their advantages is that they can be stored for a long time.
