Hi Chris,

I don't have the two you mentioned but I received "a few" Aci Sivri seeds from a grower in Brazil five years ago and was planning on finally getting around to growing them out this year.

I can't attest to their viability and purity but if you're interested I'd be happy to send you half (4 of 8 seeds).

Let me know.

does anyone know where to find Armenian peppers? I'm half Armenian so I can't help but be intrigued.

A lot of those pepper are not any differen but just have different sounding names, like thai, korean, turkish, this and that. Case in point: "Aci Kirmizi" or "Aji Kirmizi" just means "RED CHILI" (Aci = Aji = chili, Kirmizi = red).
Where did the Turks get their pepper from? Everything (in capsicum family) came out of the South America.

@ Judo ... there are large communities of Armenians back in California. Do you have a relative over there ?

I do actually, in the Glendale area.

Sorry, i do not have the varieties mentioned here, but i located a few from that corner of the globe at the following websites.

The sweet Armenian Red:

Hope that helps...

Thanks everyone. I'm starting to think as mentioned here that some of these types are 'generalized' names and could be any combination of types used to make a powder.

Chris, I noticed John Ford(?) I think gearing up to release Urfa biber and Aleppo....maybe he has a source.

Correction: it was Jim Duffy I saw with the advertisement of seed. John Ford has been sending some out for free, I hear.

Does anyone know what kind of pepper is used in menemen? I'd like to buy some seeds.
