They possess anti-inflammatory properties, help regulate blood sugar, improve skin health via collagen production, and provide pain relief.
Varieties
India boasts a diverse range of green chillies, varying from mildly tangy to intensely fiery. Key varieties include the widely used, slender Jwala (Gujarat), intensely hot Bhut Jolokia (Northeast), pungent Kanthari (Kerala), and flavorful Guntur (Andhra Pradesh). These are staples for adding heat, aroma, and color to Indian cuisine
Packaging
Export-quality green chilli packaging requires specialized, ventilated, and moisture-resistant materials to maintain freshness during long-distance transit. The industry standard includes 5-ply corrugated fiber boxes (3.8 kg - 5 kg net weight) with ventilation holes, often paired with food-grade liners, pre-cooling to 7°C–10°C, and, for larger shipments, plastic crates.
Safety Information
Green chillies are packed with nutrients like vitamin C and capsaicin, but they require proper handling and moderate consumption to avoid health issues. While generally safe, they can cause skin irritation, stomach distress, and are highly perishable.
