A simple colour test

Real Kashmiri chilli gives a deep, natural red and a mild heat you can actually enjoy. Adulterated powder is often unnaturally bright, harshly hot, and leaves a strange residue. Try this: sprinkle a little on water. Pure chilli powder floats and slowly colours the water a soft red. Added synthetic colours often streak downward in bright, unnatural trails. Ours won’t.

A simple colour test

Chilli powder is a favourite target for adulteration because colour sells. The worst offenders are Sudan dyes, banned industrial colourants linked to serious health risks, and cheap bulking agents like brick powder and saltpetre added purely for weight. So we test. Every batch is checked for added colours and bulking agents before it’s packed, and we keep the report for each one. Ask, and we’ll show you yours. We’d rather spend on testing than on a louder marketing claim. The proof should be in the lab, not just the label.
