Dried Red Chilli — overview
Whole dried red chillies by variety, colour value and pungency.
Chilli varieties differ in colour (ASTA value), pungency (SHU), length and wrinkle. We help buyers choose the right variety for their use, whether for deep colour in sauces and meats or high heat in seasonings. Aflatoxin and Sudan dye testing are important for EU and UK markets, and we arrange lot-wise testing on request.
