Product description
Envision a chilli so special that it's not just a spice, but a national icon. have a sneak peek in to the world of GI - Tagged Guntur Sannam Chilli, the crown jewel of Indian chilli production that's been spicing up kitchens and industries alike and acting like a balancing agent for millions of consumers worldwide.
Nestled in the heart of Andhra Pradesh, the Guntur district isn't just a place on the map—it's the chilli capital of India. Picture this: 18,400 hectares of vibrant chilli fields, painting the landscape in shades of fiery red and promising heat. This isn't just farming; it's an art form that accounts for a whopping 75% of the district's horticultural landscape.
The Guntur Market Yard isn't your average marketplace. It's the beating heart of the global chilli trade, a powerhouse that sets prices from Mumbai to Melbourne. When Guntur speaks, the chilli world listens. The district alone contributes 15% of India's chilli production, with Andhra Pradesh commanding an impressive 40% of the country's total output.
Let's talk about the star of the show: the Guntur Sannam S4. This isn't just any chilli—it's a carefully crafted marvel of nature and agricultural expertise. Scientifically known as Capsicum annuum var. longum, it's a beauty that combines form and function in every single pod.
Imagine a chilli that's a visual and culinary masterpiece:
- Length that ranges from 5 to 15 cm
- A slender diameter of 0.5 to 1.5 cm
- A vibrant red colour that screams freshness
- An ASTA colour value of 30 - 40 that would make any chef's eyes light up
But it's not just about looks. This chilli packs a serious punch:
- A Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) rating of 35,000 to 40,000
- Capsaicin content of 0.226% that delivers a perfect spice kick
- Nutritional superstar with 185 mg of Vitamin C and 11.98 g of protein per 100g
The name "Sannam" isn't just a label—it's a story. In Telugu, it means "thin" or "long," a poetic nod to its elegant shape and deep-rooted cultural significance. Farmers in Guntur, Prakasam, Warangal, and Khammam have been nurturing this variety for generations, each pod carrying the legacy of their expertise.
Harvesting happens from January to March, with farmers achieving an impressive 4,439 kg per hectare—that's significantly higher than the state average. The secret? A magical combination of black soils, sandy loams, and red sandy terrains that seem to whisper agricultural wisdom.
Whether you're a home cook looking to add some serious flavour to your curry or an industrial processor seeking top-quality capsaicin, the Guntur Sannam S4 is your go-to chilli. It's more than a spice—it's a celebration of India's agricultural prowess, a testament to the skill of farmers, and a flavour bomb waiting to explode on your taste buds.
So the next time you reach for a chilli, remember: you're not just seasoning a dish. You're experiencing a piece of Andhra Pradesh's rich agricultural heritage.
