Chili Pepper (Lal Mirch) FAQs

Common questions about heat levels, ASTA values, and importing Indian Chillies.

Heat is measured in Scoville Heat Units (SHU) via HPLC, ranging from Kashmiri (mild, <15,000 SHU) to Teja (ultra-hot, >80,000 SHU). Color intensity is measured by ASTA value, with our Byadgi variety ranging from 180 to 250+ ASTA for deep red extraction.
If you need deep red color without heat, **Byadgi** is best for the European market. For high pungency, **Guntur S4** is preferred by Asian spice processors. For a balanced, aesthetic red in culinary use, **Kashmiri** chili is the global gold standard.
We conduct rigorous testing for Aflatoxin (B1 below 5 ppb) and Sudan dye (zero tolerance) in NABL-accredited labs. Our chillies also comply with EU and US MRL (Maximum Residue Level) standards for pesticides.
Standard bulk packaging is 25kg or 50kg new Jute/PP bags. We also offer vacuum-sealed packs for long-distance sea freight to preserve color and moisture. Our standard MOQ is 500kg.
