Understanding Heat: The Scoville Story

Not all chillies are created equal. The Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) scale is the global standard for measuring chilli pungency. Bird’s Eye Chilli sourced from Nagaland and select regions of North East India consistently delivers 100,000+ SHU.


Higher SHU translates to a hotter bite, greater intensity per gram, sharper and cleaner heat, and a longer-lasting flavour impact. This makes it ideal for bulk applications where strength and consistency are essential.

Traditionally grown across the hilly terrains of Nagaland and neighbouring North Eastern states, this small chilli delivers a powerful, quick, and authentic heat trusted by food manufacturers, spice processors, exporters, and professional kitchens.

Controlled Processing at Our Kalyani Factory

Centralised Handpicking & Grading

All handpicking, cleaning, and grading are carried out exclusively at our Kalyani factory under controlled conditions. This centralised approach ensures uniform quality across every bulk lot.

At the factory level, chillies undergo manual handpicking to remove immature or damaged pods, visual grading for colour, size, and maturity, and separation of premium whole chillies and grinding-grade material.

Multi-Stage Cleaning Process

Each batch is subjected to a thorough cleaning protocol including removal of dust, field debris, and foreign matter, followed by manual inspection to eliminate broken or defective pieces. Careful handling preserves natural pungency and aroma.

Pure, Untreated Chilli
