Green Chilli

Product Overview:
Green Chillies are the heartbeat of spicy cuisine, known for their ability to add instant heat and a bright, grassy aroma to any dish. Sourced from growers who harvest at the peak of pungency, our chillies are selected for their high capsaicin content and crisp snap. Whether used whole for a subtle infusion of flavor or chopped finely for an intense kick, these chillies are a must-have pantry staple for those who love bold, authentic taste.

Key Features:

Sharp & Consistent Heat: Selected for a reliable level of spice that enhances food without overpowering the natural flavors of your ingredients.

Vibrant Emerald Color: A sign of high chlorophyll and vitamin content, ensuring the chillies are fresh and full of life.

SQA Monitored Selection: Every batch is hand-inspected for "turgidity"—ensuring the chillies are firm and snap easily when bent. We check that the stems (pedicels) are intact and green, which is an SQA-approved indicator that the chilli hasn't lost its essential oils to dehydration (SQA Checked).

Thin-Skinned & Seed-Rich: Optimized for a quick release of spice during cooking, making them perfect for tempering (tadka).
