About Cayenne pepper powder

Cayenne pepper powder is a vibrant, red-orange spice made from dried and ground cayenne chili peppers, a staple ingredient in global cuisines, particularly in Mexican, Indian, and Southeast Asian dishes. Its fiery kick adds depth and heat to soups, sauces, marinades, and more. Rich in capsaicin, the active compound responsible for its spiciness, cayenne pepper has been linked to various health benefits, including improved metabolism, reduced inflammation, and enhanced circulation. It's also a source of essential vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin A, vitamin C, and potassium. However, excessive consumption may cause stomach irritation or discomfort for sensitive individuals. A little goes a long way, making it a flavorful and functional addition to a balanced diet.
