We supply whole stem, stemless, and crushed chilli grades tailored by heat pungency (15,000 to 100,000+ SHU) and natural ASTA color value (40 to 120+ ASTA). Backed by a 50+ year parent supply legacy (Laxmi Group, est. 1975), we ensure strict aflatoxin controls for full container loads (FCL) and consolidated mixed-spice shipments (LCL) worldwide.

What to Look For — Choosing Your Red Chilli

01

Pungency (SHU) vs. Color (ASTA)

High-heat varieties like S17 Teja (60k–100k SHU) are ideal for extraction and spicy preparations, while Byadgi (100–140 ASTA) provides intense deep red natural coloring with low heat.

02

Stem vs. Stemless (Destemmed)

Stemless chillies eliminate buyer-side sorting labor and increase grinding yield; whole chillies with stems offer cost economy for industrial milling.

03

Moisture & Aflatoxin Limits

Controlled drying maintaining moisture between 8%–10% prevents aflatoxin (B1/Total) contamination and mold development during shipping.

04

Intact Pod Ratio & Color Uniformity

Bright, uniform red skin indicates proper curing and new-crop freshness; faded yellowish-orange or darkened pods signal old stock or sun-bleaching.

05

Zero Artificial Dye (Sudan Red Free)

Lab-verified 100% natural chillies certified free from banned synthetic colorants like Sudan I–IV and Rhodamine B.
