लाल मिर्च / Red Chilli Powder – Byadgi

Laal Mirch / Red Chilli – an unforgivable spice yet it adds a certain characteristic to your dishes. Without it, the dish would not hold its true essence.

Interesting fact – Chillies are not native to India. They were introduced to us by the Portuguese traders. But we embraced this hot spice with so much love that currently India is the largest consumer, producer and exporter of Red Chilli. This spice add a distinct red colour to the cuisines giving it a vibrant look while teasing your palate at the same time.

India is home to 25 varieties of Chilli which vary in their SHU level and of course Topography.

SHU – Scoville Heat Unit defines the hotness level and pungency of the spice.

Maricham Byadagi Chilli gives a rich colour and a mild hotness to your dishes. With the hotness quotient between 30000-70000 SHU, this chilli is at the lower end of being spicy. Grown in the Byadagi region of Karnataka, it has acquired the GI status. Famous for its vibrant red color, earthy aroma and mild hotness, this is one of the highly exported chilli from India.

We find this variety of chilli suitable in enriching the taste of food in most of the Indian households. It can be used either as a whole chilli or in the powder form.

At Maricham we strive to bring the best of the spices from India to your doorstep.

We connect with the local farmers and producers of the respective regions and source the dried whole chilli from them. Once we receive them at our processing unit, we get them cleaned for any impurities and further dry them under the sun for 2 more days. These are then ground into the fine powder. And after this whole process is complete, we get our all natural, chemical free and pure Maricham Red Chilli Powder.

At Maricham, we use eco-friendly packaging to pack our spice powders and other products. Our Pouches are made of Kraft Paper with aluminium lining that ensures a long shelf life of the product.
