Organic Birds Eye chilli flakes, red, 2–4 mm

Product description

Biova Organic Birds Eye chilli are bright red, coarsely crushed chilli flakes from Capsicum frutescens with a particle size of around 2–4 mm. They deliver a clean, intense heat of about 90,000–120,000 Scoville units to your kitchen.

Gentle drying and careful processing help preserve the colour, aroma and heat of the organic chillies as much as possible. Supplied in kilogram foodservice packs, Biova offers consistent, well traceable quality for professional kitchens, artisan producers and dedicated home cooks.

The coarse, granular structure ensures even distribution in the dish and makes it easier to dose this very hot chilli. This lets you use Organic Birds Eye chilli flexibly in curries, stews, sauces, marinades and your own spice blends.

Origin

The chillies come mainly 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 90,000–120,000 Scoville range.

Cultivation / production / harvest

Plants of the species Capsicum frutescens are grown outdoors under certified organic conditions. Fully ripe red pods are harvested, gently dried and then coarsely crushed to obtain a granular particle size of around 2–4 mm.

Key features

With its very high heat level, this chilli falls into the intense heat ranges of 20,001–100,000 up to 100,001–500,000 Scoville units. Its vivid red colour and coarse texture make it attractive for spice blends, rubs and decorative use, while Biova ensures consistent organic bulk quality.

Differences in origin and processing

Chillies from Uganda provide a clear, direct heat, while those from India often contribute a slightly fruity note. Thanks to uniform granular processing, Biova combines both origins into one consistent product with reliably reproducible heat.

Taste & aroma

In terms of flavour, the flakes are reminiscent of typical Thai chillies: direct, intense and without dominant smoky notes. On the nose they show a warm, slightly fruity chilli aroma with a clear, spicy pungency that builds quickly and lingers.

Suggested uses

• To add heat to curries, wok dishes and other Asian-inspired recipes
