Organic Birds Eye chili | crushed | 2-4 mm | red | Scoville Units: 90.000-120.000

What it is / Product description

Biova Organic Birds Eye Chili is a very hot organic spice made from Capsicum frutescens with bright red, coarsely crushed flakes of about 2–4 mm. The chili flakes come mainly from India and Uganda and bring a clear, direct heat of around 90,000–120,000 Scoville units to your kitchen. This gives you an aromatic, visually appealing hot spice for professional requirements.

Gentle drying and careful processing preserve the color, aroma and heat of the organic chilies as best as possible. The granulated, coarse structure ensures an even distribution in the dish and makes dosing easier, which is particularly important with very hot chili. As bulk goods sold by the kilogram, Biova offers consistent, traceable quality for commercial kitchens, manufacturers and ambitious home cooks.

In curries, wok dishes, stews or homemade BBQ sauces, Organic Birds Eye Chili sets precise, well-controllable heat accents. Use the crushed chili flakes sparingly and adjust the amount to your personal heat tolerance. This way you can use the hot spice in a versatile way in soups, sauces, braised dishes and custom spice blends.

Origin

The chilies come from India and Uganda, regions with a warm climate, intense sunlight and fertile soils. These conditions promote a pronounced aroma and strong heat in the range of 20,001–100,000 to 100,001–500,000 Scoville units. Biova works with selected organic producers who pay attention to careful harvesting and transparent supply chains.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

Plants of the species Capsicum frutescens are cultivated outdoors under controlled organic conditions. After harvesting fully ripe red pods, they are gently dried to preserve aroma, color and heat. The chilies are then coarsely crushed to obtain a granulated grain size of about 2–4 mm, ideal for cooking along with dishes and for dry spice blends.

Special features

With a heat level of approx. 90,000–120,000 Scoville units, this product is among the very hot chilies in its category. The bright red color and coarse granulated structure make it visually attractive for spice blends, rubs and decoration. As organic bulk goods, it is particularly interesting for packers, food start-ups and the catering trade who rely on consistent quality and efficient processing.

Differences in origin and processing

Chilies from Uganda are known for their clear, direct heat, while produce from India often brings a slightly fruity note. Thanks to uniform granulated processing, Biova combines both origins into a consistent product. This way you get well-dosable, reproducible heat regardless of the batch.

Taste & aroma

In terms of taste, Birds Eye Chili is reminiscent of typical Thai chilies: direct, intense and without dominant smoky notes. On the nose it shows a warm, slightly fruity chili aroma with clear, piquant spiciness. The heat builds up quickly, remains present for a long time and does not taste bitter.

• For adding heat to curries, wok dishes and other Asian-inspired foods
