Organic Red Chilli Flakes, coarse 1–3 mm, 6,000–30,000 SHU

Product description

Biova organic chilli flakes add a bright red, easy-to-dose heat to your kitchen. The coarse flakes with a particle size of 1–3 mm fall in the range of approx. 6,000 to 30,000 Scoville.

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

Use these organic chilli 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 flakes also add visual appeal and flavour.

Origin

The chillies come predominantly from certified organic cultivation 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 around 1–3 mm.

Special features

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

Differences 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 ensure that colour, particle size and aroma remain as consistent as possible across batches.

Taste & aroma

On the palate, the flakes deliver a clear chilli heat with lightly fruity notes reminiscent of dried peppers. The aroma is warm, spicy and piquant, while the heat builds moderately in dishes and can become quite intense depending on dosage.

Suggested uses

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