Red Chilli
Description
- Red chilli is not just a spice – it's a signature of heat and color in cuisines across the globe. From Indian curries to Mexican salsas, it brings depth, punch, and an unmistakable red hue that enhances both visual appeal and flavor complexity in dishes.
- Our red chillies are offered as both dried whole pods and finely ground powder to meet the needs of food processors, spice manufacturers, and culinary professionals. Each variety is selected for its unique balance of heat (pungency), flavor, and color value (ASTA rating).
- Harvested from top chilli-producing regions of India like Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Rajasthan, the chillies are sun-dried, machine-cleaned, and processed in modern facilities. We ensure minimal moisture, vibrant natural oils, and proper Scoville and ASTA levels to match global quality standards.
