Source our Red Chillies
Red chilli is the ingredient that makes people lean in for another bite and reach for a glass of water at the same time. It is heat with purpose, colour with intent, and flavour with memory.
India grows the world's most diverse and sought-after chilli varieties — from the luminous, gentle warmth of Kashmiri to the ferocious pungency of Teja S17. Harvestia sources directly from the three growing belts that define Indian chilli: Andhra Pradesh for heat, Karnataka for colour, and Kashmir for premium provenance.
Every variety is tested for capsaicin content, ASTA colour value, and moisture before it moves. Every batch is documented. Every shipment arrives with a Certificate of Analysis that tells the complete story of your ingredient.
Whether your brand needs a colour specialist, a heat weapon, or a perfectly balanced blend built to your exact SHU specification, Harvestia sources, tests, and delivers it — verified from the growing region to your production line.

Packed and documented
Harvestia procures red chilli directly from verified growers across Guntur and Andhra Pradesh for heat grades, Haveri and Karnataka for colour specialists, and Kashmir Valley for premium provenance varieties. Grade-specific sourcing from known origins on every procurement.
Every incoming chilli lot is submitted to NABL accredited laboratories before it enters our supply chain. Capsaicin content, ASTA colour value, moisture, volatile oil, microbial count, and heavy metals tested per batch. Certificate of Analysis issued per grade, per SKU, every shipment.
From verified source lot to your finished branded product, every step is recorded. Grade specification, batch number, fill date, laboratory results, and origin data travel with every shipment. Nothing leaves our facility without complete documentation.
