Product overview
Chilli matched to what you make
UAE food businesses buy chilli for a result: a sauce with the right heat, a chilli powder with the right colour, a marinade that tastes the same every batch. So we start from your specification, not from a price list.
Our chillies (Capsicum annuum) come from Guntur in Andhra Pradesh. We recommend the variety that fits your product, Byadgi for colour, Teja for heat or Sannam S4 for balance, then confirm the heat and colour of your lot by lab test before it ships.
- Variety chosen for your heat and colour target
- Stemless chillies, ready for grinding
- Lab-tested for aflatoxin and illegal dyes
- Shipped to Jebel Ali or Khalifa Port

Why UAE manufacturers choose Guntur chilli
What UAE food businesses ask of red chilli
For a factory or grinder, a chilli that changes from batch to batch is a problem. This is what we control.
Consistent heat
Your product must taste the same every batch. We confirm each lot's pungency by lab test before it ships.
Colour you can sell
Chilli powder and sauces are judged by colour first. Byadgi and blended lots give a deep, natural red.
Clean for food safety
Every lot is tested for aflatoxin and illegal dyes, and the report travels with the shipping documents.
Less work at your plant
Stemless chillies go straight to grinding, which saves labour and gives a cleaner powder.

FAQ
Dried Red Chilli for the UAE: common questions
Which chilli is best for making chilli powder in the UAE?
For a bright red powder with moderate heat, use Byadgi or a Byadgi blend. For a hotter powder, add Teja. Sannam S4 gives a good balance of both. Tell us your target and we will suggest a mix.
Can you guarantee the same heat in every shipment?
Chilli is a natural crop, so heat varies slightly. We test every lot and match it to your approved specification before shipping, so each delivery stays within your range.
Do you supply Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, or only Dubai?
We supply buyers anywhere in the UAE, shipping to Jebel Ali or Khalifa Port depending on where your plant or warehouse is.
How is the wholesale price of red chilli decided?
Price depends on variety, heat and colour values, stem-on or stemless, the current Guntur crop and freight to your port. Request a quote and we post today's price for your exact specification to your dashboard.
What is the minimum order for dried red chilli?
Our minimum order is 1 MT. Most manufacturers and importers order full containers for the best freight cost per kilo.
