Whole Dried Red Chillies
Sun-dried pods in stem-cut and stemless options, graded by heat and colour — the base material for grinding, oleoresin extraction and food service.
View SpecificationCrushed flakes at 2–4 mm with the seed retained — the format pizza chains, seasoning houses and retail shaker lines specify.
Chilli flakes — crushed red pepper, in North American usage — are cut to a 2 to 4 mm particle with the seeds left in. Particle size is the whole specification: too fine and the product reads as coarse powder and clumps in a shaker; too coarse and it will not disperse evenly across a pizza or through a dry seasoning.
Seeds carry little capsaicin but a great deal of the visual identity buyers expect from a flake, and they lift the pale-to-red contrast that makes the product look right on a topping. They are retained deliberately, not left in as a shortcut.

Food-service buyers care about three things: consistent heat so the finished dish does not vary between deliveries, flow that does not block a shaker, and colour that survives sitting under a hot lamp. The 25,000 to 40,000 SHU band is chosen for exactly that — assertive enough to register, mild enough for a mass-market menu.
Packing runs from 500 g retail shakers through to 25 kg bulk for seasoning houses, with custom branding available on the retail formats.
