A 3 to 5 mm cut with seed content set at 25, 30 or 40 percent
Crushed chili with seeds. Flavour typical of chili and free of other smell, natural red in appearance, with colour across 100 to 220 ASTA and heat across 100 to 80,000 SHU. Seed content is set at 25, 30 or 40 percent, or to the client’s requirement.
The cut is coarser than our plain crushed grade at 3 to 5 mm, and moisture is held below 10 percent. Seeds carry both texture and a paler colour, so the seed percentage is a real formulation decision rather than a cost lever.
Key Benefits
Seed content is a specification, not a surprise
25, 30 or 40 percent, or your own figure, agreed before the lot is cut.
Coarse visible cut
3 to 5 mm, noticeably chunkier than the 40 to 60 mesh plain crushed grade.
Wide heat window
100 to 80,000 SHU, selected per lot.
Low moisture
Below 10 percent, which is tighter than the 14 percent on plain crushed.

A fine flake looks wrong in an oil or a shaker

Specified as typical of chili and free of other smell.
From the Field to Your Container
Pod selection sets the colour ceiling
Milling cannot add colour. The ASTA band a lot can be quoted against is decided when the pod is chosen, which is why the mill starts from graded whole pods rather than from whatever is available.
Seed and stem content set before milling
Seed percentage and stem removal are decided at this point, not corrected afterwards. Both change the apparent colour of the finished powder or flake.
Milled or cut to the specified size
Powder runs at 40, 60, 80, 100 or 120 mesh, crushed flake at 40 to 60 mesh, coarse crush at 3 to 5 mm and rings at 2 mm. The mill is set to your figure before the lot runs.
Moisture checked, then packed
Ground products are checked against their published moisture limit and packed in cartons, paper bags, woven sacks or big bags depending on how you discharge.
Quality Control and Certification
- Ground lots are checked against the mesh or cut size on the order before packing, because a mesh error cannot be corrected once the material is bagged.
- Moisture is verified against the published limit of below 10% before packing.
- Seed content is cut to the figure on your order: 25%, 30%, 40% or as required.
- Colour is confirmed inside the quoted 100-220 ASTA band against your agreed target point.
- The plant has run without a food quality or safety incident since 1999, across an annual output of 3,000 to 5,000 tons of chili products.
Use Guide
- Decide the seed percentage from the finished appearance you want, not from price.
- Higher seed content lightens the apparent colour; compensate on the ASTA band.
- Add to oil off the heat to avoid scorching the seeds.
- Store sealed; the specification is below 10 percent moisture.
How This Compares With the Rest of the Range
| Alternative | What changes |
|---|---|
| Crushed Chili | Finer at 40 to 60 mesh and without a specified seed percentage. |
| Premium Sweet Paprika Crushed | The same crushed idea in sweet paprika, with a seedless option. |
| Premium Chili Powder | Fully milled when neither seeds nor flake should be visible. |

Yes, seed content can be cut to your own requirement.
How coarse is the cut?
3 to 5 mm, which is coarser than our plain crushed grade.
What is the moisture specification?
Below 10 percent.
Is the flavour neutral?
The specification is flavour typical of chili and free of other smell.
