Cayenne chilli flakes, seedless, red, 10,000–15,000 SHU

Product description

Discover cayenne chilli as bright red, coarsely crushed chilli flakes without seeds, with a heat level of around 10,000–15,000 Scoville. The carefully selected pods are processed for Biova into a uniform, professional seasoning quality.

The granulated particle size of approx. 1–3 mm allows precise dosing and an even distribution of heat in the dish. With most of the seeds removed, the chilli flakes taste clean and less bitter, which makes them particularly attractive for commercial kitchens, foodservice and artisan producers.

Whether for chilli con carne, stews, sauces or grill rubs – cayenne chilli is highly versatile and gives dishes a clearly defined, warming heat. These coarsely crushed flakes from Biova are also a practical solution in kilo units for dips, vegetable stir-fries or bowls.

Origin

The chillies come from China, where the warm, sunny climate supports even ripening. This allows the fruits to develop their intense red colour and a consistent heat level, which is regularly monitored for Biova.

Cultivation / production / harvest

The cayenne pods grow on low bushes and are harvested when fully ripe. After drying, they are gently crushed until the desired coarse particle size of 1–3 mm is achieved and the seeds are largely removed.

Special features

Compared to fine powder, these granulated, coarsely crushed chilli flakes retain structure and bite and release heat and aroma gradually. The strong red colour creates visual highlights, while Biova bulk in kilo packs offers an efficient solution for professional users.

Differences in origin and processing

Depending on the growing region, cayenne chillies can vary in flavour and heat; Chinese produce is known for its reliable heat level in the 20,001–100,000 SHU category. Controlled drying and targeted crushing without seeds set this Biova product apart from simple, heavily powdered chilli blends.

Taste & aroma

Cayenne chilli delivers direct, fiery heat with a slightly smoky and subtly bitter note. The aroma is typically spicy-chilli, and thanks to the coarse structure, colour and flavour are well preserved even during cooking.

Suggested uses

• Seasoning chilli con carne, goulash, minced meat and stew dishes in commercial and professional kitchens
• Adding heat to sauces, dips, marinades and grill rubs for meat, fish or vegetables
