Whether in soups, stews, marinades or grilled dishes, these hot chilli flakes are easy to dose precisely and can be used both during cooking and as a table seasoning. This adds a versatile hot component to your Biova spice range for foodservice, small-scale production and ambitious home cooks.

Origin

The chillies for this cayenne come from selected growing regions in China, where warm summers and strong sunlight provide ideal conditions for Capsicum frutescens. Specialised producers ensure consistent quality in the 10,000–20,000 Scoville heat range.

Cultivation / production / harvest

The plants are grown in open fields until fully ripe and then gently dried to preserve colour and aroma. The pods, including the seeds, are then coarsely crushed to 3–5 mm, which makes them easy to handle as a bulk product.

Key features

Typical are the coarse red chilli flakes with visible seeds, which deliver direct yet well-controllable heat. Combined with the Biova bulk packaging, this product is ideal for restaurants, catering and commercial spice packers.

Differences in origin and processing

Cayenne chilli from China offers clean, straightforward heat and an intense red colour. Unlike fine powder, the coarse crush retains structure and visual appeal, allowing decorative accents and targeted control of heat in the finished dish.

Taste & aroma

On the palate, the spice is distinctly hot with a piquant, fruity note and fast-building heat. On the nose, the flakes recall dried chilli pods with a warm, slightly smoky nuance that complements many savoury dishes.

Suggested uses

• Seasoning soups, stews, chilli con carne and pasta sauces.
• As the hot component in marinades, rubs, barbecue blends and chilli sauces.
• As a table seasoning for pizza, vegetable dishes, wok dishes and bowls.
