Cayenne Pepper Ground

Slender, bright, and unapologetically hot, cayenne is the purist's chilli. Thought to originate in the sun-drenched coastal regions of French Guiana, this long, thin pepper has travelled the world and found its way into almost every culinary tradition — valued precisely for what it doesn't bring as much as what it does.

Where other chillies offer smoke, earth, or dried fruit, cayenne delivers clean, direct heat — uncluttered and versatile, it lifts dishes without altering their character. The cook's reliable backbone.

Heat Level: 7–8 / 10
