Cayenne chilli, ground red, 10,000–15,000 SHU

Product description

Discover cayenne chilli as a bright red chilli powder, finely to slightly flaked ground, with a medium to fairly hot heat level of around 10,000–15,000 Scoville heat units. It is easy to dose and suitable for use in kitchens, foodservice and food manufacturing.

Carefully controlled drying and uniform grinding at Biova produce a free-flowing bulk powder in the 5,001–20,000 Scoville range with consistent quality. Colour, aroma and heat remain largely stable from batch to batch, enabling reproducible results.

In use, cayenne chilli adds a pleasant, warming heat to stews, soups, marinades and grilled dishes. Thanks to the fine particle size, the chilli powder disperses evenly in both dry and liquid preparations.

Origin

This cayenne chilli comes mainly from selected growing regions in China and India with warm climates and plenty of sunshine. Careful inspection of the raw material ensures Biova’s consistently high quality.

Cultivation / processing / harvest

Cayenne plants grow as low shrubs and produce slender pods that are initially green and later turn an intense red. After harvesting, the pods are gently dried and ground into a fine to slightly flaked chilli powder.

Key features

At around 10,000–15,000 Scoville, this chilli powder sits in the medium to upper heat range without being extremely hot. Its strong red colour and free-flowing, fine grind make it ideal for rubs, spice blends and decorative applications in professional kitchens.

Differences in origin and processing

Depending on the country of origin, cayenne chillies vary slightly in heat, aroma and colour intensity. The batches selected by Biova offer a balanced, slightly smoky profile; controlled drying and even grinding ensure a homogeneous powder.

Taste & aroma

Cayenne chilli delivers a direct, clean heat with a spicy, piquant aroma. On the palate it shows slightly smoky notes and a subtle bitterness that spreads evenly through dishes.
