Ground from Stemless Pods
Red chilli powder is specified on two axes at once, and confusing them is the most common sourcing mistake we see. ASTA measures extractable colour; SHU measures pungency. A high-colour, low-heat powder and a low-colour, high-heat powder can carry the same price and behave completely differently in your product.
Ours is blended to hit an agreed point on both scales — typically 60 to 120 ASTA and 25,000 to 50,000 SHU — by combining varieties rather than by adding anything. If you need colour without heat, the blend leans Byadgi; if you need heat, it leans Teja.

Buying Notes
What to Specify
The powder is milled from stemless material, not from whole pods with the stalks still attached. Stalks are woody, carry no colour and no heat, and dilute both figures while adding to the foreign-matter count — grinding them in is a quiet way to make a cheaper powder look like a comparable one.
Because ground chilli is where adulteration historically happens, every lot is tested for Sudan dyes and aflatoxin alongside heat, colour, moisture and microbiology before it is released.
