Among the vast range of Indian red chillies, Teja Chilli—also known as S17 Teja—has carved out a dominant position in the global spice trade. Known for its fiery heat, vibrant red color, and distinct aroma, Teja Chilli is a top export product from India and is widely used across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America.
So what makes Teja Chilli so popular with spice importers and food manufacturers around the world?
Teja Chilli is famous for its Scoville Heat Units (SHU) ranging from 60,000 to 100,000, making it one of the spiciest Indian chillies available for export. It delivers consistent pungency, ideal for hot sauces, seasoning mixes, and spicy snacks.
Teja Chillies naturally produce a rich, deep red color, which enhances the visual appeal of food products. This makes them a preferred choice for chilli powder manufacturers who want both color and heat without synthetic coloring agents.
Most Teja Chillies are cultivated in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, where the soil and climate are highly conducive to chilli farming. At Nethra Exports, we source directly from experienced farmers and follow stringent quality checks at every stage—from harvesting to packing.
From instant noodles and hot sauces to snack foods and chilli oils, Teja Chilli is a crucial ingredient in several processed food products. Its long shelf life and strong flavor profile make it ideal for international export markets.
Leading exporters like Nethra Exports offer customized packaging solutions (5kg, 10kg, 25kg, 50kg) and support documentation such as Phytosanitary Certificates, SGS reports, Health Certificates, and COA—ensuring smooth and compliant international shipments.
