What it is / Product description

Biova organic chili flakes bring intense, natural heat to your kitchen. The bright red, coarsely crushed chili flakes with a grain size of 1–3 mm range from around 6,000 to 30,000 Scoville and can be dosed precisely. As a high-quality organic spice, they are suitable for professional gastronomy as well as for discerning home cooks.

Gentle drying and controlled crushing preserve the color, aroma and heat profile of the chilies as best as possible. The coarse, granulated structure ensures that the flakes adhere well to dishes and create highlights both visually and in terms of flavor. Biova relies on certified organic quality and a reliable bulk selection for processing companies.

Whether in sauces, marinades, stews or as a topping on pizza and pasta – the organic chili flakes offer you a flexible way to individually adjust heat and appearance. Thanks to their granulated, crushed form, you can grade dishes from mildly spicy to distinctly hot. This allows you to integrate the aromatic organic chili spice in a targeted way into your everyday cooking.

Origin

The chilies come from controlled organic cultivation in selected regions of China and India with a warm, sunny climate. Long ripening periods promote an intense red color and a well-balanced heat profile. Biova pays attention to traceable supply chains and consistently high quality of the raw materials.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

The plants are cultivated according to organic guidelines without synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Fully ripe red pods are harvested, gently dried and then coarsely crushed. The grain size of 1–3 mm is achieved through a controlled milling process that preserves structure and aromas.

Special features

Characteristic is the variable heat range of 6,000–30,000 SHU, which extends from moderate to distinctly hot. The coarse, granulated structure provides visible chili pieces and a pleasant mouthfeel. As bulk goods with approx. 1.05 kg per kg of product, the flakes are ideal for spice blends, small manufacturers and large-scale consumers.

Differences in origin and processing

Depending on the country of origin, fruitiness, smoky notes and heat intensity may vary slightly. Rapid processing after harvest and even drying are crucial to preserve color and aroma. Thanks to standardized processes used by Biova’s partners, the quality of the chili flakes remains stable across batches.

Taste & aroma

From a sensory perspective, the flakes offer a clear chili heat with slightly fruity notes reminiscent of dried bell peppers. The aroma is warm, spicy and piquant without being overpowering. In dishes, the heat builds up moderately and can increase significantly in intensity depending on the dosage.
