cayenne peppers
Fiery red pods
Cayenne peppers are slender, red chili peppers known for their sharp heat.
Dried and ground, cayenne becomes a common kitchen spice that adds kick to dishes without much distinct flavor.
The peppers rate moderately high on the Scoville scale—hotter than jalapeños but milder than habaneros.
Add a pinch of cayenne to the soup.
