Buying at the source means we grade lots ourselves rather than accepting whatever a middleman has already blended. Byadgi (often spelled Byadagi) chilli is bought for colour, not heat. The wrinkled, deep-maroon pods of varieties like 2043, 5531, Dabbi and Kashmiri-type run roughly 80–150 ASTA with mild pungency, which is why oleoresin extractors and masala houses specify them by name. Where a buyer needs bite instead of tone, we pull from Guntur in Andhra Pradesh - Teja S17, Garuda and C5 Sannam carry the pungency, from around 35,000 SHU up past 100,000 SHU." }, { "heading": "Whole, crushed and powder - one line, three formats", "body": "As bulk chilli powder exporters, we run 15 tons of powder every 24 hours and pack up to 3,000 bags of 30 kg per batch.

Every consignment is sun-dried across our two-acre yard before it reaches the mill, so moisture is settled rather than forced.

Byadgi chilli, grown around Byadgi in Karnataka, has long wrinkled deep-maroon pods with roughly 80–150 ASTA colour and mild pungency, and is the standard raw material for oleoresin extraction. Kashmiri-type chilli gives a brighter red tone with a slightly rounder pod. We supply Byadgi-type varieties including a Dabbi Kashmiri grade, and will send matched samples of each so you can compare on your own bench." }, { "question": "What is the ASTA colour value of your Byadgi chilli?", "answer": "It varies by variety. Byadgi 2043 typically runs about 80–120 ASTA, 5531 and Laali sit in a similar high-colour band, while Guntur varieties such as Teja S17 are lower in colour and far higher in pungency. Every lot ships with its stated colour value." }, { "question": "Do you export Guntur Teja S17 chilli in bulk?", "answer": "Yes. Teja S17 is sourced from the Guntur market in Andhra Pradesh and supplied whole, stemless or as powder, typically at 75,000–100,000+ SHU. It is the usual choice where the requirement is heat rather than colour." }, { "question": "What is your minimum order for bulk chilli powder?", "answer": "We size the first order around a trial container so you can qualify the material before committing to a standing contract.
