USDA Certified Organic, Non-GMO, and gluten-free. ✓ USDA Certified Organic | ✓ Non-GMO | ✓ Gluten-Free | ✓ Vegan | ✓ 30,000 SHU | ✓ Sourced from India What is cayenne pepper — and what makes it different from other chili powders Cayenne is a specific variety of Capsicum annuum — a long, thin, red pepper known for producing a clean, pure, bright heat without the earthiness of ancho, the smokiness of chipotle, or the fruitiness of habanero. Ground to a fine powder, cayenne becomes a precision heat tool: measured, consistent, and flavor-neutral enough to add to virtually any dish without changing its fundamental character. This is what distinguishes cayenne from generic "chili powder" — which is typically a blend of multiple peppers, cumin, garlic, and other spices. Cayenne is 100% pure ground cayenne pepper with no blending or additives — pure heat and pure pepper flavor, nothing else. Heat level — 30,000 SHU in practical terms At 30,000 Scoville Heat Units, our cayenne falls in the medium-hot range — significantly hotter than jalapeño (2,500–8,000 SHU) but approachable for most heat lovers: * Mild heat (background warmth): ⅛ tsp per dish serving 4 — most diners notice only a pleasant warmth * Medium heat (noticeable): ¼ tsp per dish — a clear, building heat that lingers pleasantly * Hot: ½ tsp per dish — assertive heat for dedicated chili lovers * Very hot: 1 tsp per dish — serious heat that will challenge most palates Start low, adjust up. Cayenne powder distributes evenly throughout a dish — unlike chili flakes, you cannot fish it back out once added. A measured approach prevents the most common cooking mistake with cayenne: over-spiking a dish that cannot be rescued. Cayenne powder vs. red chili flakes — when to use which * Cayenne powder (this product) — dissolves completely and invisibly into sauces, marinades, spice blends, and batters. Delivers consistent, measured heat with no visible texture.
