Export-grade Indian chilli in whole dried and powder grades — ASTA colour and SHU specified, Andhra Pradesh origin, for food manufacturers, spice importers, and seasoning brands globally.
India is the world's second-largest chilli producer, and Andhra Pradesh is India's most important chilli growing state — home to the famous Teja, S4, and Wonder varieties known for their high heat and vibrant red colour. Karnataka's Byadgi variety is globally prized for its deep red colour and mild heat — the preferred choice for colour-driven food applications.
SV Botanica sources from established Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka procurement networks, supplying ASTA-colour-specified and SHU-specified whole dried chillies and powder. Critical for food manufacturers who require predictable heat and colour consistency across production runs.
Indian chilli offers an unmatched combination of colour intensity and heat in a single raw material. The ability to source multiple varieties — from mild Kashmiri (low heat, high colour) to high-heat Teja (100,000+ SHU) — makes India the preferred single-origin chilli supplier for global food manufacturers.
Sourced from Guntur (Andhra Pradesh) — India's largest chilli trading hub — and Karnataka's Byadgi region. ASTA colour certificates and capsaicin content reports provided per lot.
