Product description
Cayenne powder is made from dried, ground cayenne peppers and is a cultivar of Capsicum annuum (related to bell peppers and others). Cayenne pepper is a rich source of potassium, calcium and vitamins such as beta-carotene, B-complexes, vitamin A, vitamin E and vitamin C. Cayenne pepper contains capsaicin, which stimulates the digestive system by encouraging the output of gastric fluids.
It is commonly used in the preparation of spicy dishes (e.g. Asian, Mexican or Cajun cuisines). Cayenne pepper can be used as a spice in cooking; or as a condiment at the table. It may be sprinkled over soups and dishes. It is great with roasted, grilled, fried or stewed meats and can be used in the dusting flour for fried chicken, fish and vegetables.
Tip: Gargle water mixed with cayenne pepper as a treatment for sore throats and strep throat.
