The Culinary Essential—Powerful, Pungent Heat with a Clean Finish.

Overview

Our natural Red Cayenne packs a powerful heat at approximately 30,000 to 60,000 (SHUs). Our cayenne peppers provide a sharp, immediate burn that is a staple in kitchens worldwide. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex earthy and slightly smoky flavor! Our Red Cayenne ground pepper, crushed flakes, and dry whole pods are significantly hot (spicy), so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat is punchy and direct, so start with a very small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Red Cayenne is a classic member of the Capsicum annuum family, resulting in its versatile and reliable heat level. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Red Cayenne peppers have a distinctive appearance with a long, slender shape and a brilliant red color. They are often characterized by their smooth skin and tapering end, giving them a classic and recognizable appearance in the chili community.

The Experience

Red Cayennes are known to be a favorite among professional chefs and home cooks alike! So why eat it? Like most chili peppers, in certain amounts the sensation can be quite pleasing and causes the release of endorphins in the brain, which make you feel pleasure. Studies suggest that Capsaicin may have certain health benefits, such as pain relief, improved digestion, and potential metabolism-boosting effects. Eat with caution but enjoy the complex flavor provided by Magic Plant Farms' cayenne peppers. Use our premium quality dry chili pepper products once and you’ll be hooked forever! This pepper is perfect in small doses for a specific aromatic kick in stews, sauces, soups, and salsas. For the brave of heart, just add more directly on top!

Too Hot?

Dilute the heat: If you're not used to eating such hot peppers, you can dilute the heat by mixing our dry flakes or ground Red Cayenne peppers with our milder peppers like our Low Heat Dried Peppers (Chipotle Morita) or our sweet dried peppers (Green Ancho Peppers, Red Cascabel Pepper, Red Poblano Mulato Pepper, Trinidad Pimento (Trini Pemiento), Peppadew Peppers / Sweety Drop Peppers). This will still give you the clean, pungent flavor of the Cayenne without the overwhelming heat.
