Green Chilli from India — sourced, graded and export-ready.
A foundational ingredient in global spicy cuisines, fresh Indian green chillies
are esteemed for their vibrant green color, pungent aroma, and sharp heat. We
export popular varieties such as the thin and highly potent 'Jwala' and the
short, round 'Bullet' chilli. Our green chillies are hand-picked without the
calyx (stem) if required, ensuring a longer shelf life without rot during air
transit.
Aethon Overseas supplies green chilli available as jwala, bullet chilli, byadgi green, banana pepper / bajji chilli. From trial samples to multi-container annual contracts, every lot is cleaned, graded and quality-checked before shipment — with a Certificate of Analysis, phytosanitary certificate and full export documentation included.
