Indian Dry Red Chilli in Bulk

Chilli is bought on two numbers that pull in opposite directions: pungency in Scoville units and colour in ASTA value. Teja S17 is chosen for heat, Byadgi for its deep red colour and mild heat, and Guntur sits between the two. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka supply most of the crop. BulkFineChem supplies whole chilli, stemless and powder to masala manufacturers, oleoresin extractors and export buyers.

Storage and Quality

Chilli loses colour steadily in light and is prone to aflatoxin if it is dried or stored damp, which is the main rejection risk on export.

• Store cool, dark and dry in sealed packing; light destroys colour value
• Aflatoxin testing available and recommended for export consignments
• Fumigation certificate available where required for export
• Pesticide residue testing available against destination limits
• Sampling before shipment can be arranged
