Isot, a variety of pepper, is grown mainly in the southeastern region of Turkey, particularly in Şanlıurfa and Harran. It is known for its red color, unique aroma, and spiciness. After harvesting, isot peppers are dried in the sun and ground into a spice. Isot pepper is commonly used in regional dishes, such as Urfa kebab, and plays a significant role in enhancing their flavor.

Isot pepper has several health benefits. Due to its efficient capsaicin content, isot pepper can boost metabolism and aid in weight loss by promoting fat burning. Additionally, its antioxidants help protect the body from the harmful effects of free radicals, delaying the aging process. Isot pepper also has a blood sugar-regulating effect, offering protective benefits against diabetes.
