Wrinkle-273 Red Chillies

Introduction & History

The Wrinkle-273 chilli (S-273) is a semi-wrinkled dry red chilli variety, prized for its deep red color, moderate pungency, and low seed content. Its long, slender pods with semi-wrinkled skin make it ideal for high-quality chilli powder production.

Chillies have been cultivated in India for centuries, but S-273 is one of the most demanded export-grade hybrids, balancing rich color with consistent heat. This makes it a favorite for spice processors, masala manufacturers, and international buyers.
