Kashmiri Chillies Whole Dried (25kg)

Whole dried red chillies are deep red chilli pods supplied in a bulk box for restaurants, takeaways, caterers and food manufacturers across the UK. Also sold as sabut lal mirch, they are used whole for tempering in hot oil, soaked for pastes or ground in-house into chilli powder. The pods hold their shape and colour in a commercial kitchen, so batch cooking stays consistent. Buying wholesale gives UK kitchens a steady supply of a core spice.

Key Features of Wholesale Whole Dried Red Chillies

• Bulk & Wholesale Supply: Supplied as a bulk pack for kitchens that use chillies every week, and for re-packers and retailers who portion the pods for resale.
• Wholesale Trade Pricing: Buying in bulk is a cost-effective way to stock a high-use spice, with a lower cost per portion than small retail jars.
• Whole Pod Form: Whole pods give chefs control over heat. Use them intact for a gentler infusion, or break them open and keep the seeds for a sharper kick.
• Deep Red Colour: The pods colour oils, gravies and sauces a rich red, which suits dishes where appearance matters as much as heat.
• Flexible Preparation: Temper them in hot ghee or oil, soak them in hot water and blend to a paste, or dry roast and grind to a coarse or fine powder.
• Storage & Handling for Bulk Packs: Keep in a cool, dry place in an airtight container, away from sunlight and strong odours. Reseal after opening and wear gloves when breaking or deseeding pods.
