Single Origin Byadgi Chilli Powder

Byadgi chillies of the Dabbi variety, sun-dried and single-origin sourced, ground into a deep-red powder with mild heat. Byadgi is grown around the Karnataka town of the same name and is prized for exactly this combination — intense colour with restrained heat, which is why South Indian cooking can look fiery while tasting balanced. Kashmiri chilli is the nearest comparison. Single-origin sourcing carries real weight in this specific category. Red chilli powder is among the most adulterated products in the Indian market: Sudan dyes, brick powder and other industrial colourants appear in market samples with enough regularity that FSSAI treats it as a standing enforcement priority, precisely because a brighter red sells and powder hides everything. Knowing the variety and the region is part of the defence. Sun-drying rather than mechanical drying preserves colour. Two gaps we could not close: no aflatoxin or lead result was located, which are the two standard chilli-specific safety checks. Currently showing sold out.
