Cayenne Pepper

Description

Liven up your dishes with the red-hot fire of ground chili peppers. With tart flavors and smoky overtones difficult to find in other chilis, cayenne pepper is a common ingredient in Mexican and Cajun cuisine and is one of the components of the famous Tabasco sauce. Commonly used in Szechuan cuisine, it's about a three out of five on the pepper hot scale. Also an effective antiirritant.
