Byadgi chilli, known for its deep red colour, mild heat, and minimal pungency, is one of the most sought-after red chilli varieties in both Indian and international markets. Primarily cultivated in the Haveri district of Karnataka and the Guntur region of Andhra Pradesh, Byadgi—also referred to as 668 Byadgi—is valued for its rich colour, distinctive wrinkled texture, and high content of health-enhancing vitamins and minerals.

This versatile variety is available in multiple forms, including Byadgi chillies with stem, without stem, crushed red chilli flakes, and fine red chilli powder, making it ideal for a wide range of culinary and commercial applications.
