Wonder Hot Chilli

Wonder Hot is a hybrid chilli with long, thick-skinned, wrinkle-free pods, bred by Hungnong Seed and now sold in India by Seminis. Despite the name it is not among the hottest varieties: it is bought for its bold appearance and good red colour, with mild to medium heat.

Geodhara International sources Wonder Hot through our supplier network in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Lots are sun dried, machine cleaned and graded by colour and pod size, with stem or stemless, for consistent export-grade supply.

Our target markets include China, Bangladesh, the UAE, Thailand, and Sri Lanka. For importers, spice processors, food manufacturers, and wholesale distributors there, we offer bulk supply, competitive pricing, and complete export documentation.
