Wide regions of the country are very fertile, so that more than 80% of the working population work in agriculture. In addition to coffee, tea and bananas, the cultivation of various types of chili is becoming increasingly important. The chili species, once native to South America, were brought to Europe by Spanish and Portuguese explorers. The plant quickly spread rapidly throughout the world, supported by the great expansion of Portuguese colonial rule. In Uganda, the chilies find perfect climatic conditions and fertile soils. The plants of the Birdseye Chili, which grow to a height of about 150 cm, produce numerous hot pods, which ripen from green to orange to bright red. The small, round to pointed fruits, which belong to the group of Capsicum frutescens, owe their name ¨Bird Eye Chilis¨ to some bird species, where the fruits of the shrub are at the top of the menu.

The very mild variety has a fruity, almost sweet taste, reminiscent of dried raisins, liquorice, tobacco and coffee. Ancho is often combined with spicier chilli varieties to significantly reduce the overall sharpness.

Hot to mild exotic chillies
Whether for barbecues, risottos, Mexican tapas or other dishes, chilli gives every dish a fiery flavour. The Mayans and Aztecs already knew this, adding a pinch of the spicy flavouring to their sacred drink Xocolatl in addition to cocoa and water. When Christopher Columbus discovered the New World in the belief that he was travelling to India, one of the things he brought back home from his expeditions was chilli. Today, around 4,000 different types of chilli are known around the world. But not all of them are as hot as you might think. After all, chillies belong to the pepper family. The pharmacologist of the same name developed the Scoville scale to assess the flavour of chillies. He gave ordinary chilli peppers with no detectable heat a value of 0. In comparison, chilli peppers - depending on the variety - are between 100 and 500 Scoville hot. This is no comparison to the hottest variety, Carolina Reaper, which is only tolerated in very low doses with a pungency of 2,200,000 Scoville.
The Piment d' Espelette variety from Biova, which comes from the Basque Country in France, is milder. Its mild flavour enhances sauces, pasta and rice dishes, meat and fish. The variety derived from the Gloria chilli pepper has been cultivated in Europe for 400 years. Legend has it that the Basque navigator Gonzalo de Percartegu brought it back to his homeland from his voyages of discovery to the west. In addition to other varieties, we at Biova also have the jalapeno chilli, which is popular in Europe, in organic quality in our range. As an integral part of chilli con carne, barbecue sauces and other fiery dishes, it is an indispensable part of Tex-Mex cuisine. Cayenne pepper is also a type of chilli pepper. It consists exclusively of ground cayenne peppers, which originally come from South America. Cayenne pepper from Biova comes from China and harmonises perfectly with stews, minced meat, soups and vegetarian options.
