Details

Cayenne pepper not only offers heat but also subtly enhances other flavors, which helped make it popular in early American cooking. In older spice trade definitions, any pepper that was hotter-than-hot was called "cayenne," after an area of South America which once exported super-hot peppers. Cayenne pepper ranges from 35,000 to 70,000 Scoville heat units. This pepper adds zip to any dish, and when a recipe calls for chile pepper heat, this is the pepper you want.

Pure and Fresh.
I bought it not only for cooking but also for medicinal purposes. Great to stop a cut from bleeding. If taken internally helps with circulation and inflamation among other things. Makes a wonderful tincture.

The cayenne pepper is amazing, it smells so tangy and strong. Has a delicious taste!
