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.
Cayenne pepper is eight times hotter than chili powder so adjust accordingly. Its fieriness boosts sauces, marinades and traditional Mexican favorites. They are also added to Indian curries and Thai soups. Add a spicy kick to your repertoire and check out our recipes here.
