FAQs

What is the ASTA colour value of your red chilli powder?

ASTA colour runs roughly 30 to 130 depending on the grade: Byadagi 80 to 130, Teja S17 50 to 70, Guntur Sannam S4 30 to 50. Higher ASTA gives a more vibrant red in the end product.

What is the Scoville heat range?

Heat runs roughly 8,000 to 90,000 SHU depending on the grade: Teja S17 about 70,000 to 90,000, Guntur Sannam S4 about 25,000 to 40,000, Byadagi about 8,000 to 15,000.

What is the difference between Teja and Byadgi varieties?

Teja S17 is the high pungency grade with moderate colour, suited to hot sauces and spicy blends. Byadagi is the opposite: low heat with much higher ASTA colour, preferred for natural colouring and mild curry powders. Heat and colour move in opposite directions, so blends are built to whichever you need.
