Cayenne Powder - Capsicum annuum

Cayenne (Capsicum annuum) is a vibrant chili pepper belonging to the Solanaceae family. Closely related to other familiar peppers such as paprika and pimento, cayenne has been valued for centuries as both a culinary spice and a traditional botanical. Its naturally pungent character comes from capsaicin, the compound responsible for its characteristic heat.

Our Cayenne Powder is finely ground and offers a convenient way to add bold flavor and warmth to everyday recipes. It can be incorporated into seasoning blends, sauces, marinades, soups, and vegetable dishes.

Cayenne has a naturally warming and spicy profile that makes it a versatile ingredient in culinary preparations. It has also been traditionally incorporated into infused oils, vinegars, and topical botanical preparations.

Ways to Use

Cayenne Powder can be added to:

• Seasoning blends
• Sauces and marinades
• Soups and savory dishes

The powder's heat intensity can vary depending on the pepper, with cayenne commonly measured using the Scoville scale to indicate pungency.
