Cayenne pepper is a fiery spice made from dried and ground cayenne chile peppers. With a vibrant red color and intense heat, it adds a bold kick to dishes. Use it to enhance soups, sauces, marinades, and rubs with its spicy flavor and is also believed to have health benefits. Here in Louisiana, we use it in gumbo, jambalaya and just about anywhere to bring the heat.

Cayenne Pepper is made from the Capsicum Chile, a pungent variety of chile. Cayenne is made from grinding both the flesh and the seeds of the chile. It can be quite spicy! A little goes a long way.

Hazel H. ★★★★★

The vibrant red color alone tells you this is fresh, and one pinch in my marinara brought the heat I was after without turning it gritty. It dissolves cleanly into sauces, which makes it easy to control the kick.

Zoe V. ★★★★★

This ground cayenne is legitimately hot, not just spicy—I only needed a pinch in my chili to feel the burn. It's been perfect for perking up my usual marinades without adding any weird filler taste.

David F. ★★★★★

The color is such a vibrant red, it instantly perks up any dish it touches. I've been sprinkling it into my soups and it gives that deep, fiery warmth without any musty taste.
