Product Description
FitTree's Premium Red Chilly Powder is processed from select Capsicum annuum varieties. We understand that "heat" and "color" are the two currencies of the chili trade. Therefore, we offer customizable blends ranging from High Color/Low Heat (using Byadgi or Kashmiri chilies) to High Heat (using Guntur Sannam or Teja varieties).
At Fittree International, we prioritize safety and consistency. Our manufacturing process includes rigorous steam sterilization (optional) and magnet separation to ensure the product is free from metal contaminants and pathogens like Salmonella. Free from artificial dyes (Sudan Red) and bulking agents, our chili powder offers a potent, authentic flavor that is the backbone of Indian curries, Mexican salsas, and industrial seasoning mixes.
