Why Guntur is different
Guntur chilli is valued for its natural capsaicin content — the compound responsible for chilli's heat and metabolic benefits. This variety is known for its balanced intensity and deep colour, making it a staple in many traditional cuisines.
At Ashya, our chillies are carefully sourced and processed to retain their natural heat and flavour while maintaining purity and consistency.
