About This Product
Red Chilli
India is the world's largest producer, consumer and exporter of chillies — with Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh as the primary producing states. Rajasthan produces varieties known for high pungency and vivid red colour, making them particularly valued for the oleoresin and colour extraction industries as well as premium food manufacturing.
PAX Herbal supplies whole dried red chillies and chilli powder across two primary grade profiles: high-colour (paprika-style, mild pungency) and high-pungency (high capsaicin). ASTA colour units and capsaicin percentage are measured per batch. All material meets EU MRL pesticide residue standards. Stemless and stemmed varieties available.
We export to food manufacturers (for seasoning, sauces and ready meals), oleoresin and capsaicin extraction companies, spice blenders, and natural food colour producers across Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia.
