Direct Knowledge & FAQFrequently Asked Questions: Sourcing & Specifications
Clear, authoritative answers regarding Kunri red chilli grading, moisture standards, container stuffing, and chemical purity.
What is the difference between Dandicut and Longi red chilli from Kunri?
Dandicut is a long, high-heat pod (40,000–55,000 SHU, 6–10 cm length) with thick skin and high oleoresin oil, making it ideal for industrial grinding and hot sauces. Longi (Gol Mirch) is a small spherical cherry chilli (35,000–50,000 SHU, 1.5–2.5 cm diameter) prized for intense aroma and whole-pod tempering (tarka).
What ASTA colour and Scoville heat levels do Kunri chillies offer?
Kunri red chillies offer ASTA colour ratings between 100 and 140 ASTA units and Scoville heat ratings between 30,000 and 55,000 SHU depending on the variety and picking cycle (Bahar spring harvest provides the highest ASTA).
Why is 10.0% to 12.0% moisture the export standard for Pakistani dried chillies?
Moisture between 10% and 12% prevents fungal mould and aflatoxin development during long ocean container voyages while avoiding excessive pod brittleness and breakage that occurs below 8% moisture.
What container capacity can SP Commission Shop stuff for ocean freight?
