Organic Red Chili Flakes, coarse 1–3 mm

Product description

Biova organic chili flakes add a bright red, easy-to-dose heat to your kitchen. These coarse chili flakes with a particle size of 1–3 mm have a heat level of approx. 6,000 to 30,000 Scoville.

Gentle drying and controlled crushing help preserve colour, aroma and heat profile. The granular texture adheres well to food and is ideal for both professional kitchens and demanding home cooks.

Use these organic chili flakes to season sauces, marinades, stews or grilled dishes and adjust the heat from mildly spicy to distinctly hot. As a topping on pizza, pasta or bowls, the red chili flakes also add visual appeal and a clear chili kick.

Origin

The chilies come predominantly from certified organic farming in China with a warm, sunny climate. Long ripening times promote an intense red colour and a balanced heat profile, which Biova secures through carefully selected partners.

Cultivation / production / harvest

The plants are grown according to organic standards without synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilisers. Fully ripe red pods are harvested, gently dried and then coarsely crushed into flakes of about 1–3 mm.

Key features

A characteristic feature is the variable heat range of 6,000–30,000 SHU, from moderate to distinctly hot. The coarse, granular cut provides visible chili pieces and a pleasant mouthfeel, making the flakes ideal in bulk for spice blends and high-volume users.

Variations in origin and processing

Depending on the growing region, fruitiness, smoky notes and heat intensity may vary slightly. Standardised drying and milling processes at Biova’s partner facilities help keep colour, particle size and aroma of the chili flakes as consistent as possible across different batches.

Taste & aroma

Sensory-wise, the flakes deliver a clear chili heat with slightly fruity notes reminiscent of dried sweet peppers. The aroma is warm, spicy and piquant, while the heat builds moderately in dishes and can become quite intense depending on dosage.

• Seasoning sauces, soups, stews, curries and stir-fries
