Kashmiri Chilli
Kashmiri Mirch / Deggi Mirch
Выращенный в прохладных долинах западных Гималаев и в тёмно-красном поясе Матхании, кашмирский чили ценится за свой светящийся багрянец и удивительно сдержанную остроту. Высокое цветовое значение ASTA позволяет ему окрашивать карри, тандури-маринад или роган джош в яркий красный без подавляющей жгучести. Используйте его там, где вам нужен цвет и фруктовое тепло, а не огонь, вместо сладкой паприки.

Kashmiri Chilli (Kashmiri Mirch / Deggi Mirch) is a single-origin Indian capsicum prized for its vibrant red colour and mild pungency. It serves as a high-colour paprika substitute, ideal for food processing and culinary applications requiring rich visual appeal without excessive heat, supplied in bulk as whole pods or fine powder.
Sourcing & Origin
Kashmiri Chilli, known as Kashmiri Mirch or Deggi Mirch, is primarily sourced from two distinct Indian regions: the fertile valleys of Jammu & Kashmir and the arid Mathania belt in Rajasthan. Cultivated between 300 and 1,600 metres, these unique terroirs contribute to the chilli's characteristic deep red colour and mild heat profile, which sets it apart in the bulk spice trade.
The seasonal harvest yields whole pods that are sun-dried, de-stemmed, and then stone-ground to produce a fine, rich powder. For bulk buyers, the specific origin is vital as it guarantees the authentic flavour and high ASTA colour value, ensuring consistency for end-product formulations. Treedha carefully selects produce from these specific origins to meet precise quality standards.
Export Grades & Specifications
Treedha supplies Kashmiri Chilli in premium whole pods or as a fine ground powder, consistently achieving a high ASTA colour grade, typically around 54+ ASTA. Our processing ensures a mild pungency of approximately 1,000–2,000 SHU, making it a preferred high-colour paprika substitute for various applications.
Our bulk supply adheres to stringent specifications to ensure product integrity and longevity during transit. Each batch is sortex cleaned, and steam-sterilised for the highest purity, meeting the rigorous demands of international markets. The following table outlines key specifications for our export grades:
Quality, Safety & Compliance
Ensuring the highest standards of quality and safety is paramount for Treedha's bulk Kashmiri Chilli exports. All our products are steam-sterilised and guaranteed ethylene-oxide-free (ETO-free), addressing a critical concern for European Union (EU) imports where ETO use is prohibited and frequently monitored via the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF).
We provide a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) for every batch, detailing compliance with international regulatory limits. This includes stringent testing for aflatoxins and mycotoxins as per Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/915 and pesticide Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) in line with Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. Furthermore, microbiological analyses, including Salmonella testing, and heavy metal screening (lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic) are standard, ensuring our Kashmiri Chilli meets the strict import requirements of both the EU and the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA).
Global Demand & Target Markets
Global demand for Kashmiri Chilli is driven by its unique combination of vibrant red colour, rich aroma, and mild to medium pungency (1,000–2,000 SHU). This makes it highly sought after as a high-colour paprika substitute and a key ingredient in premium spice blends and colour enhancement for the food processing industry. Key importing regions include Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and North America.
Major destinations for Indian chillies, including Kashmiri Mirch and Deggi Mirch, include the Philippines, Bangladesh, Malaysia, the United States, and the United Kingdom. For Deggi Chilli Powder (HS 09042211), the UK represents a significant market share. Buyers in these regions value Kashmiri Chilli for its high ASTA colour value (often 150-220 ASTA), essential for applications such as chilli powder manufacturing, tandoori marinades, curries, and sauces, where visual appeal is crucial.
Logistics, HS Code & Packing
Treedha manages comprehensive logistics for global bulk shipments of Kashmiri Chilli, utilising relevant Harmonised System (HS) codes to ensure smooth customs clearance. Typically, our Kashmiri Chilli exports fall under HS codes 090422 for dried, crushed, or ground fruits of the genus Capsicum, with specific sub-codes like 09042211 for powder and 09042110 for whole dry red chilli. This precise classification facilitates efficient international trade.
We offer various bulk packing formats designed for secure long-haul transit and the diverse needs of importers and distributors. While specific pack sizes are 100g, 250g, and 500g, our approach to Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) is tailored to the scale of wholesale and private-label buyers. We operate on Incoterms as agreed with our clients. With proper storage in a cool, dry environment, our Kashmiri Chilli maintains its premium quality for 12–24 months.

Вопросы
- Кашмирский мирч — это то же, что кашмирский чили?
- Да. Кашмирский мирч — это просто индийское название кашмирского чили. Оба обозначают один и тот же мягкий, интенсивно красный чили, используемый, чтобы придать блюдам глубокий багряный оттенок при очень малой остроте.
- Чем он отличается от дегги мирч?
- Дегги мирч — это традиционно смесь, построенная вокруг чили кашмирского типа, иногда усиленная более острым сортом для дополнительной резкости. Наш кашмирский чили — единого происхождения, так что вы получаете характерный цвет и мягкое тепло без непредсказуемого скачка остроты.
- Можно ли использовать его вместо паприки?
- Безусловно. Его высокий цвет и низкая острота делают его отличной высокоцветной заменой сладкой паприке в маринадах, рагу и растирках, добавляя при этом более фруктовую, более ароматную ноту.
