Cayenne chilli flakes without seeds, 1–3 mm, red

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 pods selected for Biova are processed into a consistent, professional seasoning quality that is ideal for commercial kitchens, foodservice and artisan producers.

The granulated 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, less bitter and are an economical choice when used in bulk.

Whether for chilli con carne, stews, sauces or grill rubs – cayenne chilli can be used with precision and gives dishes a clearly defined, warming heat. These coarse flakes are also a practical solution in kilo units for dips, vegetable dishes 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 / processing / harvest

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

Key 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 adds visual appeal, while Biova bulk packs by the kilo offer 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 chillies are known for their 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 a direct, fiery heat with a slightly smoky and subtly bitter note. The aroma is typically spicy, 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 stews in commercial and professional kitchens
• Adding heat to sauces, dips, marinades and grill rubs for meat, fish or vegetables
• Finishing egg dishes, vegetable pans, vegan bowls and as a decorative topping with red chilli flakes
