Dhatu Organics Chilli Powder (Guntur) 1kg is certified organic ground red chilli powder from Guntur, Andhra Pradesh — the chilli capital of India — in a large 1kg bulk pack for restaurants, caterers, and household bulk buyers. Guntur chilli powder delivers the authentic deep red colour (capsanthin) and medium-hot heat (25,000–35,000 SHU) characteristic of South Indian and Andhra cuisine, without any additives, fillers, or artificial colour.
Why 1kg? Authentic Andhra and South Indian Cooking Demands Volume: Authentic Andhra cooking is notoriously chilli-forward — dishes like Gongura Mutton, Mirchi Ka Salan, and traditional Andhra rasam require chilli powder quantities that quickly exhaust standard 100g packs. Professional cooks, catering operations, and serious home cooks producing pickles, sambar, or traditional Andhra curries regularly go through 200–500g per month. This 1kg bulk pack is certified organic Guntur chilli — the same quality as the 100g pack, with significant savings per gram at bulk quantity.

Key Benefits
- Capsanthin Natural Colour: Guntur chilli powder is particularly high in capsanthin and capsorubin — the carotenoids responsible for the vivid deep red colour of Andhra curries. These carotenoids are also potent antioxidants.[1]
- Capsaicin Thermogenesis: Capsaicin in Guntur chilli activates TRPV1 receptors, increasing thermogenesis and metabolic rate. Consistent with multiple published RCTs on dietary capsaicin and energy expenditure.[2]
- Vitamin A Richness: 2,081 mcg RAE vitamin A per 100g from provitamin A carotenoids. Even at typical cooking quantities (5–10g per recipe), chilli powder contributes meaningfully to daily vitamin A intake.
- Antimicrobial Activity: Capsaicin inhibits multiple food-borne pathogens; chilli powder’s role in preserving pickles and curries has been validated scientifically.[3]
- Economical Bulk Value: 1kg provides significant cost savings for high-volume cooking without compromising organic certification or Guntur origin authenticity.

| Benefit | Study Finding | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Capsanthin antioxidant | Capsanthin and capsorubin among highest carotenoid antioxidants in chilli extracts | Hornero-Méndez & Minguez, 2001[1] |
| Thermogenesis | Capsaicin increases energy expenditure 4–5% above baseline in RCTs | Taghizadeh et al., 2017[2] |
| Antimicrobial | Capsaicin inhibits S. aureus and E. coli at food-relevant concentrations | Cichewicz & Thorpe, 1996[3] |
How to Use
- Restaurant-Volume Cooking: Add 1–3 tbsp per batch for Andhra-style curries, sambar, or rasam — this 1kg pack is designed for quantities that 100g packs cannot economically serve.
- Pickle Making: Traditional oil-preserved pickles (mango, lime, mixed vegetable) require significant chilli quantities for both heat and preservation — Guntur chilli powder is the authentic choice.
- Spice Powder Blending: Use as the chilli base for homemade sambar powder, rasam powder, garam masala, or curry powder blends in bulk quantities.
- Marination: Mix with coriander, cumin, turmeric, and yoghurt for bulk marination of proteins before cooking.
- Storage of 1kg: Transfer into multiple airtight glass jars upon receipt. Store one jar in the pantry for daily use; keep remaining in a cool, dark location away from moisture and light to maintain colour and capsaicin potency.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same quality as the 100g Guntur red chilli powder?
Yes — the 1kg bulk pack uses the same certified organic Guntur chilli source as the 100g product. The only difference is pack size and price per gram. Both are single-ingredient Guntur Capsicum annuum with no additives, no fillers, and no artificial colour. The 1kg pack provides the same quality at better value for high-volume users.
How do I store a 1kg pack of chilli powder?
Chilli powder is sensitive to moisture, heat, and light — all of which degrade capsanthin colour and capsaicin potency. Best practice: transfer the full 1kg into 3–4 smaller airtight glass jars immediately on receipt. Store one jar in your pantry for active use; keep the rest in a cool, dry cupboard away from the stove. At optimal storage conditions, ground chilli maintains quality for 12–18 months.
Is Guntur chilli powder suitable for milder palates?
Guntur chilli powder is medium-hot by Indian standards (25,000–35,000 SHU). For reference, Kashmiri chilli powder is very mild (1,000–2,000 SHU, used mainly for colour), while this Guntur variety provides actual heat. If you are cooking for mixed heat preferences, use less Guntur chilli powder and supplement with Kashmiri chilli powder for colour without proportionally increasing heat.
