All Thirteen Chili and Paprika Products
Four families, one page, nothing paginated. Colour is quoted in ASTA and heat in SHU on every item, because those two numbers decide almost everything else.
Whole Chili
Whole dried pods with the stem on or off, graded by length, ASTA colour and heat, for re-drying, grinding, sauce cooking and retail packing.
Chili Thread
Beijing Red pods sliced into fine 0.4 mm and 0.8 mm threads, used as a heat-carrying garnish in Korean, Mexican and Southwestern cooking.
Ground Chili Products
Chili milled to powder, crushed flake or 2 mm rings, supplied across a wide ASTA colour and SHU heat window so a blend can be matched rather than approximated.
Sweet Paprika
Low-heat paprika in pods, crushed, powder and pellet form, bought for colour and fruity flavour rather than for heat.
Questions About the Range
How many products do you actually make?
Thirteen, in four families: whole chili, chili thread, ground chili products and sweet paprika. Everything on this page is a product we process ourselves.
Which product should I start with?
Start from the finished appearance you want. If the chili should be invisible, a powder. If it should be visible in the product, a crushed grade. If it sits on top of the dish, thread. If you mill in house, a whole pod.
Can I order more than one specification in a container?
Yes, mixed loads are normal. Tell us the split at quotation so we can schedule the milling rather than re-running the line twice.
Do you publish specifications before quoting?
Every product page on this site carries the colour, heat, size and moisture figures we quote against. Nothing is held back until you ask.
What packing is available?
Cartons, paper bags, woven sacks and big bags are all in current use. Paprika pellet normally travels in big bags.
