Ice peppers are a type of vegetable grown in Saldaea (TGH, Ch. 9; TSR, Ch. 41). They grow particularly well near the Banikhan Mountains (KoD, Ch. 20). They are mentioned several times throughout the series as a type of trade good from Saldaea (NS, Ch. 13; TGH, Ch. 9; TDR, Ch. 33; TSR, Ch. 41; KoD, Ch. 20; ToM, Ch. 11).

There appear to be different kinds of ice peppers. White ice peppers are incredibly hot (TSR, Ch. 51).

Before Perrin knows who Faile is, she tells him that her father deals in ice peppers. This is technically true, as his estates do grow ice peppers (TSR, Ch. 41).

Amathera is said to like ice peppers (TSR, Ch. 51). When the Black Ajah takes her captive, Temaile forces her to eat a great deal of ice peppers and will not allow her to drink water until she begs (TSR, Ch. 54).
