High-heat dried red chilli peppers ideal for spice production and culinary applications. Consistent color, aroma, and Scoville heat rating.
Our dried red chilli peppers are sourced from Nigeria's northern growing regions, where the hot, dry climate produces chillies with intense heat and vibrant color. We offer multiple varieties including Bird's Eye, Cayenne, and local Tatashe varieties, each with distinct heat profiles and culinary applications.
All chillies are naturally sun-dried to preserve their capsaicin content and color, then sorted and graded to remove defective pieces. Our processing facility maintains HACCP standards, and each shipment undergoes aflatoxin testing to ensure food safety compliance.
Certified quality parameters verified by independent laboratories.
