The Beauty of Indian Spice—Vibrant Crimson Color with a Mellow, Smoky Warmth.

Overview

Our natural Red Kashmiri packs a mild and manageable heat, averaging between 1,000 and 2,000 (SHUs). Unlike the intense "creeper" peppers, the Kashmiri pepper is famous for providing a deep, rich red color to dishes with a very gentle warmth. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex smoky and slightly fruity flavor! Our Red Kashmiri ground pepper, crushed flakes, and dry whole pods are mild-hot (spicy), so use with common sense and caution. Remember, while the heat is subtle, you should still start with a small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Red Kashmiri is a staple of traditional curry and tandoori recipes, resulting in its popularity for natural food coloring. Pleasant Warmth and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Red Kashmiri peppers have a distinctive appearance with a deeply shriveled, wrinkled texture and a dark, brilliant red color. They are often characterized by their slender shape, giving them a classic and recognizable appearance in the chili community.
