Armor Chili

Armor Chili is one of the most sought-after varieties of Indian red chili, known for its intense color, moderate to high pungency, and premium quality. Widely cultivated in India, especially in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, Armor Chili has carved out a niche in the global spice market for its consistent performance in food manufacturing and spice blending.

This chili variant stands out due to its vibrant red hue and slightly wrinkled texture, making it visually appealing for use in spice powders and chili pastes. It contains natural coloring properties that enhance the appearance of curries and sauces without relying on artificial additives. The moderate capsaicin level makes it a versatile option for cuisines that demand both color and controlled heat.

Armor Chili is mostly dried under hygienic, sun-dried or machine-dried conditions to maintain its natural flavor and nutrition. It is highly preferred by bulk spice exporters, food industries, and masala manufacturers for its purity and grade consistency. This variety is available in both stem and stemless forms and often undergoes sortex cleaning for a premium finish.

Thanks to its popularity, Armor Chili is regularly exported to countries like the USA, UK, UAE, Sri Lanka, and Malaysia. Its long shelf life and rich taste make it a staple in many culinary cultures worldwide.
