Heirloom Guntur Sannam Chilli (Capsicum annuum) is one of the most famous and highly prized chili varieties of India, originating from Guntur, Andhra Pradesh—a region globally renowned for producing some of the finest red chilies. With its bright red color, pungent heat, and rich flavor, Guntur Sannam has become the backbone of Indian spice exports and is cherished by home cooks, farmers, and food enthusiasts alike.
The plants grow vigorously, reaching 2–3 feet in height, and produce medium-sized, elongated chilies about 10–15 cm long. The fruits are thick-skinned and glossy, turning from green to a brilliant deep red when fully mature. With a heat level ranging from 35,000–50,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), Guntur Sannam strikes a perfect balance of spiciness and flavor, making it one of the most sought-after cooking chilies.
This heirloom variety is used in a wide range of Indian dishes, pickles, curries, spice blends, and powders. It is the primary chili used in Andhra cuisine, celebrated for its fiery yet flavorful profile. When dried and ground, the peppers yield a brilliant red chili powder with a strong aroma, widely exported and used in global spice markets.
Maturing in 90–100 days, Guntur Sannam thrives in warm, sunny climates with well-drained soil. The plants are heavy yielders, producing abundant fruits over an extended season. The chilies dry well and retain their color, making them excellent for both fresh and dried use.
