Buy Red Crushed Chili Pepper for Consistent Heat and Flexible Particle Sizes

Start with the heat requirement

We supply Premium Crushed Red Chili at a stated pungency range of 30,000-40,000 SHU. That range makes this product suitable for formulations that need a strong, repeatable chili kick instead of an unspecified heat level. If your recipe team has a target heat profile, use the SHU range as the first screening point and keep it with the product specification in your purchasing file.

The ingredient is 100% dried chili with no additives. This fits clean-label formulations where the chili itself needs to remain the only ingredient. We also produce the product with microwave heat and steam sterilization. For a food manufacturer, that processing detail matters when the ingredient will enter a controlled production flow and when aroma and color need to be retained during treatment.

Match the particle size to the product

Particle size affects how the crushed chili looks, disperses, and is handled in a recipe. We can supply 0.5-2 mm, 1-3 mm, 2-4 mm, and 3-5 mm options, along with other sizes. Select the narrowest range that fits your process instead of treating crushed chili as one fixed grade.

A finer 0.5-2 mm cut is a practical starting point for blends that need smaller pieces distributed through the mix. The 2-4 mm and 3-5 mm options suit applications where visible flakes are part of the finished appearance. The right choice depends on your filling, blending, sprinkling, or packaging equipment, so send us the target cut and the product in which it will be used.

Picture a pizza topping line: a visible flake can help the chili read clearly on the surface, while a smaller cut can spread more evenly through a seasoning blend. For a pickling spice or sausage formulation, the particle size should be matched to the other ingredients and to the way your line feeds and mixes them.

Choose seed content deliberately

We supply seed content at 50%, 30-40%, or in a deseeded version. This gives you three useful directions for product development: a higher-seed blend, a middle seed level, or a cleaner appearance with the seeds removed. Seed content should be chosen alongside particle size because both affect the visual character and distribution of the finished ingredient.

The 50% option suits buyers whose formulation calls for a pronounced seed presence. A 30-40% level is a middle specification for products that need seeds without the highest stated content. The deseeded option is the better fit when your finished product requires crushed chili without seeds. We can adjust the seed percentage for OEM requirements, so include the intended percentage in your inquiry rather than requesting crushed chili without a target.

For example, imagine a sausage seasoning that must distribute heat through a blended mix. You should compare the seed percentage and particle cut together, then assess whether the selected combination feeds consistently through your equipment. The product data gives you the available seed choices, while your formulation determines which one belongs in the order.

Check moisture and handling requirements

The product specification gives a maximum moisture level of 11%. Use that figure when your receiving and formulation teams set their ingredient checks. Moisture can affect storage behavior and blending performance, so it belongs in the same purchasing discussion as heat, particle size, and seed content.

We pack the product in 25 kg Kraft bags and support 20-foot general-purpose and 40-foot full-container-load shipping formats. Those packing details suit food manufacturers and distributors planning bulk handling. Tell us whether the product will move into your own warehouse, a blending facility, or a repacking operation so we can align the commercial discussion with the way you receive and use the chili.

The product also has stated limits for aflatoxin below 5 ug/kg, ochratoxin A below 20 ug/kg, and total ash below 10%. If these values are part of your incoming material checklist, place them beside the required particle size and seed content in your purchase specification.

Who should choose this product

Premium Crushed Red Chili is a suitable choice for food manufacturers that need a defined 30,000-40,000 SHU range and adjustable physical specifications. It fits pizza sprinkles, pickling spice bases, sausage seasonings, and other formulations where crushed chili is used as a visible or blended ingredient.

Choose the 0.5-2 mm option when a smaller cut is appropriate for your blend. Choose 2-4 mm or 3-5 mm when a larger visible flake better matches the finished product. Choose 50%, 30-40%, or deseeded according to the required appearance and formulation behavior. We can also discuss other particle sizes within the stated OEM customization range of 0.5-5 mm.

This product is less suitable for a specification that requires a mild heat level below the stated 30,000-40,000 SHU range. It also needs a separate decision when your line requires a particle size or seed percentage outside the available options. In those cases, give us the required target before we prepare a quotation.
