Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What's the difference between Kashmiri, Teja, and Byadgi chilli powder?
A: It's about color (ASTA) vs. heat (SHU). Kashmiri and Byadgi are prized for their deep red color (high ASTA) and mild heat, ideal for dishes where color is key. Teja (Sannam S17) is famous for its intense pungency (high SHU) and is a favorite for hot sauce manufacturers.
Q: Do you provide Steam Sterilized (E-St.) chilli powder?
A: Yes, we highly recommend steam sterilized chilli powder for exports to the USA, EU, Japan, and Australia. This process effectively reduces the microbial load (TPC, yeast, mold) and pathogens like Salmonella, without using chemicals like ETO (Ethylene Oxide).
Q: Do you test for Sudan dyes and Aflatoxin?
A: Absolutely. This is a non-negotiable part of our quality control. Every export batch is tested by an independent NABL-accredited lab and is shipped with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) guaranteeing it is free from Sudan dyes (I-IV) and within the permissible limits for Aflatoxin and Ochratoxin as per destination country regulations.
Q: Can you provide a specific ASTA or SHU rating?
A: Yes. We are not just traders; we are processors. We can blend different grades of chillies to create a powder that matches your exact specifications for ASTA (color), SHU (heat), and mesh size. Please send your detailed requirements to our sales team.
Q: What ports do you ship from in India?
A: We primarily ship from major South Indian ports including Chennai, Cochin (Kerala), and Mumbai (JNPT). Port selection depends on the destination and shipping route optimization for cost and time efficiency.
