Bedagi chilli, also known as Byadagi chilli, is a prized Indian chilli pepper celebrated for its vibrant red color and mild heat. The chillies are long and wrinkled, typically 8-12 cm in length. Unlike some hotter varieties, Bedagi chillies offer a subtle, fruity flavor with a Scoville heat unit (SHU) rating of only 10,000 - 20,000. Its deep red hue makes it a popular natural food coloring agent, contributing rich color without excessive spiciness. The thin skin of the chilli makes it easy to grind into a fine powder that blends easily into sauces and spice blends.

Store bedagi chillies in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place to maintain their flavor and color. Whole dried chillies can be stored at room temperature for up to a year. For longer storage, consider freezing the chillies to prevent them from drying out or losing their potency. Ground chilli powder should also be stored in an airtight container, away from direct sunlight and heat, and will typically last for about 6-12 months.
