About Cayenne pepper
Cayenne pepper is a vibrant red spice derived from dried and ground chili peppers, native to Central and South America but now widely used in global cuisines. Known for its fiery heat, it adds flavor and intensity to dishes ranging from Mexican salsas to Indian curries. Cayenne is rich in vitamins A, C, E, and K, as well as potassium and manganese, offering antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. Its active compound, capsaicin, is linked to boosted metabolism, pain relief, and improved circulation. While small amounts can enhance health, excessive consumption may irritate the stomach or exacerbate heartburn for sensitive individuals. Often enjoyed as a seasoning, cayenne pepper is both a culinary staple and a natural remedy, making it a versatile addition to a balanced diet.
