Frequently asked
Can I import Dried Red Chilli from India into United States?

What is the difference between Guntur and Byadgi chilli?
Guntur Sannam S4 is a hot chilli (35,000–45,000 SHU, ASTA colour 100–120) bought for pungency. Byadgi is a mild, deep-red chilli (8,000–15,000 SHU, ASTA 130–150) bought for natural colour and oleoresin extraction. They are different products off different fields, not two grades of one.
What ASTA colour value should export red chilli have?
It depends on use. Colour-driven buyers (paprika-style, oleoresin) want ASTA 130–150 (Byadgi). Heat-driven buyers accept ASTA 100–120 (Guntur). The value should always be stated on the contract with the test method.
