What it is / Product description

Discover Biova cayenne chili as coarsely crushed chili flakes with seeds from controlled cultivation in China. The bright red pieces with a grain size of 3–5 mm bring a consistent, easily assessable heat of around 10,000–20,000 Scoville units to your kitchen. Visibly recognizable seeds and the intense color also make this spice clearly noticeable in finished dishes.

Thanks to gentle drying and processing at Biova, the aroma, color and heat of the cayenne chili are preserved in the best possible way. The coarse pieces / whole product can be dosed precisely and distribute evenly in the dish, allowing the heat to be controlled very well. As bulk goods sold by the kilogram, the product is particularly interesting for gastronomy, spice packers and manufacturers who rely on consistent quality.

In soups, stews, marinades or grilled dishes, cayenne chili provides an authentically spicy note. The chili flakes are suitable both for cooking and as a table seasoning and are ideal for rubs, spice blends and chili sauces. This way you can expand your Biova spice range with a versatile, hot component for professional and home kitchens.

Origin

The chilies come from China, where warm summers and plenty of sunshine provide optimal conditions for Capsicum frutescens. In specialized growing regions, varieties with a defined heat range are cultivated to ensure consistent quality. Biova works with selected producers who pay attention to controlled drying and careful sorting.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

The plants are grown in open fields until the pods are fully ripe. After harvesting, the fruits are gently dried so that color, aroma and heat are retained. The chilies are then coarsely crushed together with the seeds, creating the characteristic grain size of around 3–5 mm, which is particularly well suited for processing as bulk goods.

Special features

Typical are the coarse red chili flakes with visible seeds, which provide intense yet well-controllable heat. The defined range of 10,000–20,000 Scoville units places the product in the medium to upper heat level. In combination with the bulk packaging, this spice is ideal for gastronomy, catering and commercial packers.

Differences in origin and processing

Cayenne chili from China is characterized by a direct, clear heat and an intense red color. Compared to fine powder, the coarse crush with seeds remains clearly perceptible in structure and appearance. This allows targeted control of the heat and an appealing look in the finished dish.

Taste & aroma

Sensorially, the spice is distinctly hot with a straightforward, piquant-fruity flavor. The heat builds up quickly and remains clearly noticeable without being extremely overpowering. In terms of aroma, the flakes are reminiscent of dried chili pods with a warm, slightly smoky note that harmoniously complements many savory dishes.

Possible applications

• For seasoning soups, stews, chili con carne and pasta sauces
• As a hot component in marinades, rubs, barbecue spice blends and chili sauces
• For additional seasoning at the table for pizza, vegetable dishes, wok dishes and bowls
