Premium Red Chilli

Why Indian Red Chillies?

India is the world's largest producer and exporter of chillies, contributing over 40% of global production. The Guntur region alone produces chillies with SHU levels reaching 100,000, making them among the most sought-after varieties for food processing and spice blending worldwide.

Our Byadgi chillies are prized for their deep crimson color and mild heat (8,000-15,000 SHU), preferred by European and Japanese buyers for their visual appeal in food coloring. Guntur Sannam offers medium heat (35,000-45,000 SHU) with excellent aroma, while Teja provides extreme heat (75,000-100,000 SHU) for industrial applications.
