Dried Red Chillies

Ten Indian chilli varieties - graded for heat and colour, lab-tested and export-ready.

Dried red chillies (Capsicum annuum) are India's largest spice export by value, and Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are the country's two largest chilli-growing states. Guntur's Mirchi Yard is described by the Andhra Pradesh government as Asia's largest dried red chilli market, and Khammam - where Geodhara International is based - is Telangana's leading chilli market. We supply ten varieties from Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka, whole with stem or stemless, to spice manufacturers, food companies and condiment producers, with every lot graded to your heat and colour specification.

FAQs

We export ten varieties: Teja (S17), Guntur Sannam (S4 / 334), 341, 5531 / 668, No. 5 (Indo-5), Byadgi, Devanur Deluxe (DD), Wonder Hot, 273 and Warangal Chapata, whole dried, with stem or stemless, to suit different market requirements.
Guntur chilli is the trade name for dried red chillies from the Guntur belt of Andhra Pradesh and neighbouring districts of Telangana, traded through Guntur's Mirchi Yard. The best known is Guntur Sannam (S4 / 334), a registered Geographical Indication; Teja (S17), 341, No. 5 and 273 are grown in the same belt.
Heat depends on the variety: Teja S17 runs about 70,000 to 90,000 SHU, No. 5 about 40,000 to 50,000, Guntur Sannam S4/334 about 30,000 to 40,000 and Byadgi about 5,000 to 15,000. Byadgi and Warangal Chapata are the mild, high-colour choices. Each lot's measured values are on its certificate of analysis.
ASTA colour runs from about 30 for Guntur Sannam S4 to about 150 to 200 for Byadgi, depending on the variety. Devanur Deluxe and 5531 / 668 give high colour with medium heat. Heat and colour pull against each other, so they are specified together.
