Habanero Scotch Bonnet chilli flakes, coarse 3–5 mm

Product description

Discover Biova Habanero Scotch Bonnet chilli as coarse crushed chilli flakes with a particle size of 3–5 mm. The bright red pieces combine intense, fruity aromas with clear, lingering heat and bring a touch of the Caribbean to your kitchen.

Thanks to the coarse cut, the heat spreads evenly through the dish and remains clearly visible. Biova uses carefully selected raw material from Ecuador, gently dried and then coarsely crushed so that colour, aroma and heat are preserved as well as possible.

Whether in sauces, stews, rubs or barbecue marinades, Habanero Scotch Bonnet chilli can be precisely dosed and gives hearty and exotic dishes alike a fruity, spicy depth. The chilli flakes are ideal for creative cooking with Caribbean influences and individually adjustable heat levels.

Origin

The chilli comes from Ecuador, where the warm, sunny climate and marked temperature differences between day and night help develop intense aromas. Biova works with selected producers who focus on consistent quality and careful drying.

Cultivation / production / harvest

The plants are grown in open fields and harvested by hand once fully ripe. The pods are then gently dried and coarsely crushed to 3–5 mm, creating uniform chilli flakes that are easy to dose.

Special features

A typical Scotch Bonnet chilli combines fruity aroma with clear, powerful heat. The coarse particle size provides a distinctive texture, visible chilli pieces in the dish and heat that is easier to control than with fine powder.

Differences in origin and processing

Chilli from Ecuador is often characterised by pronounced fruitiness and intense colour. Gentle drying and controlled crushing at Biova avoid excessive heat exposure, reduce bitter notes and preserve essential oils and aromas.

Taste & aroma

On the nose, fruity, slightly tropical notes come to the fore, with noticeable capsaicin heat. On the palate, the flakes combine sweet-fruity nuances with long-lasting, intense heat that gradually unfolds during cooking.
