I grew up in this city. Once this chilli yard caught fire and we all coughed for days. 😂 it's that big!

My God, a British presenter with nothing negative to portray about India! 😂

In Andhra pradesh, India, there's every city experted in something. That has research institute that eyes on specific product. Guntur has chilli research institute and they were the main guys here successfully running thousands of cold storages.

Went across guntur once by highway, and the amount of cold storages on highway is just mad insane.

The host has incredible energy. Absolutely loved her enthusiasm

As someone from Guntur who's now staying in the USA, I really do miss the fiery hot guntur mirchi flavor 🔥 The heat really is on another level !!

[carlgomm]

All I can say is WOW !! I've never seen anything like this, the closest to this that I've seen is during the harvest of chili pods near Las Cruces NM

Guntur mirchi spice is famous in the south states of India.
Guntur is mere 150kms from my home town in Telangana.

Anything india related, add Bollywood or Bhangra as background music 😅

As a Mexican, I feel slightly miffed by this video. Lol.

India is the original home of the hottest natural chilly in the world, the bhut jholokia or the “ ghost pepper” …don’t bring up the Carolina reaper, the reaper was artificially created by combining an Indian ghost paper with a habanero

[إبنحوبج]

I'm baffled with back ground music from Bollywood instead of Tollywood.

[abdurrasheedrazi]

This is progress of India as a progressive country especially in agricultural produce and especially in spices quantity being sold daily in one chill comes to 35 truck load daily
Too much
In a Pakistan many spices are being supplied by a Indian traders include black pepper cardamom ginger dry and many more

In Pakistan no such bulk market exists

In ours unlucky country smuggling of dates petrol diesel from Iran is being carried outs approximately hundred vehicle of mini trucks and Dolla under and by unknown from
tuftan border

All good but why is Didi Tera Dewar Deewana playing in the background? Bangaru Kodi petta would have been a better fit considering the geography :D

[netflixzone]

First of all, Guntur is in Southern part of India, not in the east as you mentioned.

Hey…. That’s my home city. The place she is talking in the beginning is probably 20 min from my home. It is the biggest Mirchi yard(Chilli Yard). They process all the chilies on a particular week every year and it would be crazy for the people living nearby because you can feel the spice was in the air. The people who live nearby will get tears during that processing time. I know it is dangerous but it is fun.

1:02 Not Smithsonian playing the music of Didi Tera Devar Deewana in the background 😂

[vsinha]

The best part was usage of QR code in the bags

[shaikbasharabbani]

I am from Guntur and pleased to see this video❤

[drsinghtastic]

I’ve had chillies from all over india but have to hand it to Guntur for being the hottest variety. A close match would be Kanthari chilli from Kerala. I’ve had jittery moments with both.

[ElectroDrives]

My grandma was from this city. I never lived in India, but I would love to explore this city in depth some day.
