Organic Ground Cayenne Pepper

Our organic ground cayenne pepper made from thin red cayenne peppers, about 2 to 5 inches long. The long, thin, bright red "Capsicum annuum" is a member of the "Solanaceae" family. It’s related to other capsicums, including sweet bell peppers, jalapeños, poblanos, serranos, and the notoriously spicy ghost peppers. While not nearly as hot as the ghost pepper, the cayenne pepper still packs quite a punch.

The word cayenne comes from the city of Cayenne in French Guiana. Cayenne is great in soups and sauces, on pizzas, as well as over meats and seafoods. Keep it on the table in a shaker as an alternative to salt or pepper. Cayenne peppers are one of the most popular peppers used in the Western hemisphere.

These peppers range from 20,000 to 50,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU).

In order to keep our organic herbs, spices & seasoning blends as fresh as possible we keep our standing inventory very low. There may be up to a 4 week lead time for this product to get you the freshest products possible.
