Pack a spicy punch with a pinch of ground cayenne pepper from my small farm. Made from dried hot red chili peppers, ground cayenne pepper is a medium hot seasoning usually rated at 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville units. Cayenne pepper is an important ingredient in cuisine the world over. Use it to make a hot salsa, spicy soup, or blazing house sauce for hot wings. Red Pepper (Cayenne) is the ripened, dried pod of the Capsicum Frutescens. The capsicum family of spices includes sweet, or bell, pepper, paprika & jalapeno chilies. Used when “heat” is desired, the dried pepper is available ground or whole. The color is an orange-red to deep red & capsaicin is the main constituent producing the hot taste. It is a good all “around cayenne pepper” & it has a great flavor profile. Our cayenne peppers are grown without the use of chemicals & pesticides & nothing is added before or after drying. This spice is grown, dried & packaged & from the current growing season. We air dry our cayenne pepper for the best & freshest taste. This pepper is ground to a fine powder. I also have whole cayenne peppers dried available which is great for dishes that you want great spicy flavor with obvious presence of large bits.
