Cayenne Pepper - Whole, Dried Peppers for Delicious Fresh Spicy Dried Herb

Whole Dried Cayenne Pepper

The capsicum family of spices, which includes sweet, or bell, pepper, paprika, and jalapeno chilies, encompasses the red pepper (Cayenne) - the ripened, dried pod of the Capsicum Frutescens. Cayenne pepper, a medium-hot seasoning usually rated at 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville units, is an important ingredient in cuisine worldwide.

These peppers, harvested, dried, and packaged by hand in resealable, airtight bags, each individually labeled, can be found whole or chopped, depending on availability. However, no guarantees can be made regarding the specific form.

Packed with a spicy punch, cayenne pepper is a versatile ingredient that can be used to create a variety of flavorful dishes. Its bright orange-red to deep red color and the presence of capsaicin, the main constituent responsible for its heat, make it a popular choice for those seeking a bold, fiery taste.

Whether used to make a hot salsa, spicy soup, or a blazing house sauce for hot wings, this cayenne pepper is a great all-around seasoning that delivers a fantastic flavor profile. For those who prefer a more subtle heat, a ground version is also available, offering the same great spicy flavor without the obvious presence of large pepper bits.

Cayenne pepper is a favorite among aficionados of spicy dishes, prized for its ability to add a robust, fiery kick to a wide range of culinary creations. Its versatility and bold taste make it an essential ingredient in many global cuisines, from the vibrant salsas of Latin America to the fiery curries of Southeast Asia.
