Spices, Cayenne Pepper
Cayenne pepper is made from the dried pods of pungent chili peppers.
This fiery spice adds flair to dishes from Asia, the Americas, and the Middle East. Don't be misled by cayenne's neutral smell. While it bears little aroma, it is extremely hot to taste and is found in traditional Mexican and Italian dishes.
Cayenne pepper is rich in antioxidants and helps to reduce inflammation.
