What is Cayenne Pepper?

Cayenne Pepper is the dried fruit of the Capsicum annuum plant, a spice widely recognised for its intense heat and distinctive flavour. Chili peppers have been used in cooking and traditional diets in the Americas for thousands of years.

The heat in cayenne comes from capsaicin, a natural compound found mainly in the white pith surrounding the seeds.

The intensity of chili peppers is measured using the Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) scale. Health Leads Cayenne Pepper is rated at over 40,000 SHU, indicating a strong, high-quality cayenne powder.
