About Cayenne pepper spice
Cayenne pepper is a vibrant red spice made from dried and ground chili peppers, originating from Central and South America. Known for its bold, fiery flavor, it’s a staple in cuisines such as Mexican, Cajun, and Indian cooking, bringing heat and complexity to dishes. Rich in vitamins like C, A, and B6, as well as minerals like potassium, cayenne pepper is also a source of capsaicin, a compound linked to anti-inflammatory and metabolism-boosting properties. It may promote digestive health and improve circulation. However, its intense spiciness can irritate sensitive stomachs or trigger discomfort for individuals with acid reflux. A little goes a long way, so moderation is key when adding it to recipes. Versatile and packed with flavor, cayenne pepper spices up meals while offering a variety of potential health benefits in each fiery pinch.
