Organic Cayenne Pepper

Ingredients: Organic Chilli

Origin: Spain/India/China

Organic Cayenne Pepper packs a nutritional punch.

Organic Cayenne Pepper is a vibrant orange/red colour, its botanical name is capsicum spp. Our organic cayenne powder is dried naturally in warm air when it is fresh from the field. 

Cayenne can be sprinkled over any meal and has a really impressive nutrition content, so if you like it hot you have a great excuse to add more.

Cayenne is often added to health drinks and detox diets because it is so full of goodness. Did you know cayenne is rated by its heat?  This batch has a rating of 25 thousand Scoville Heat Units.  We also stock cayenne with 40 thousand Scoville Heat Units if you like it hot!
