In Türkiye's southeastern Gaziantep province, workers are tending to vast fields of red peppers spread under the sun, a traditional drying process that prepares the region's famed Islahiye pepper for processing. Known for its distinctive heat and aroma, this registered local variety undergoes careful sun-drying before being turned into flakes and shipped to domestic and international markets.
