Cayenne pepper is a vibrant red spice made from ground dried fruits of the Capsicum annuum plant, celebrated for its bold heat and slightly fruity, tangy undertones. With a moderate to hot spice level, cayenne is a staple in kitchens worldwide, adding a fiery kick and depth of flavour to a wide variety of dishes. Its bright colour and pungent aroma make it a popular choice for seasoning everything from soups, stews, and curries to seafood, egg dishes, roasted vegetables, and sauces.
Highly versatile, cayenne pepper can be used to elevate the flavour profile of cuisines such as Indian, Mexican, Thai, Cajun, and Creole. It pairs well with other spices and herbs, and is commonly added to spice blends, rubs, and hot sauces. A little goes a long way—just a pinch can bring warmth and complexity to marinades, salad dressings, and even chocolate-based desserts or beverages.
In addition to its culinary uses, cayenne pepper is valued for its naturally occurring plant compounds, including capsaicin, which contributes to its signature heat and vibrant taste. Store cayenne pepper in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to maintain its freshness and potency, and enjoy experimenting with this classic spice in both traditional and creative recipes.
