Why Chilli Gets Its Own Process
Whole dried chilli is not one product but three commercial decisions — variety, heat and colour — and they pull against each other. Teja is the hot one, commonly 75,000 to 100,000 SHU, bought where pungency is the point. Byadgi is the opposite trade: mild, deeply red, and the variety extraction plants want because its ASTA colour is high while its heat is low. Sannam sits between them and is the workhorse of the ground-chilli trade.
Both stem-cut and stemless are available. Stemless costs more to produce because the stalks are removed by hand, but it lifts your usable yield and removes a foreign-matter deduction at the mill, so for grinding it usually pays for itself.

Buying Notes
What to Specify
Chilli is less forgiving than turmeric. Colour fades if drying runs long, moisture above 11% invites mould in the container, and EU border controls single out Indian chilli for extra aflatoxin and ethylene-oxide checks while buyers screen independently for Sudan dyes.
So every chilli lot is tested for heat, colour, aflatoxin and dyes before the container is sealed rather than after it is rejected — and every bale traces back to a farm, a drying yard and a sorting line.
Quality Assurance
Tested Before the Container Is Sealed
EU and US import rejections come down to a short list. We test against it up front, not after a border refusal.
