What is the difference between Teja S17 and Byadgi Chilli?
Teja S17 is renowned for its extreme pungency and sharp heat (up to 110,000 SHU), making it ideal for spicy food products. Byadgi, conversely, has very low heat but an exceptionally high ASTA color value, making it the top choice for extracting natural red color (oleoresins) and visually vibrant spice blends.
What does “Stemless” mean in export terms?
A “stemless” chilli has had its pedicel (the green stem attaching it to the plant) entirely removed without tearing the pod. This is highly preferred in premium retail markets and food processing as it reduces foreign matter, lowers microbial load, and increases the net weight value of the actual spice.
How do you prevent moisture and mold during sea freight?
Our chillies undergo strict, moisture-controlled sun-drying to achieve optimal moisture levels (max 10-12%). They are then packed in well-ventilated jute bags or custom moisture-barrier cartons, ensuring they remain crisp and mold-free during long ocean transit.
