History

Bullet Chili is a popular variety grown mainly in Southern India, especially in Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. It rose to popularity due to its sharp spiciness, compact size, and strong shelf life. Traditionally used in pickles and fiery regional dishes, it became a staple in homes and restaurants looking for bold flavor with minimal usage. Over the years, it has found a significant place in spice export due to its consistent quality and potency.
