What it is

Cayenne red pepper is a variety of chili pepper, Capsicum annuum, known for its spicy heat. It is dried and ground into a powder, often with a coating that helps it adhere to food products. The coating may contain other ingredients to improve texture or stability.

Why it's used

Cayenne red pepper is used to add a spicy, pungent flavor and a reddish color to foods. It is commonly found in spice blends, sauces, marinades, and processed meats. The coating helps it distribute evenly and stick to the surface of products like deli meats.

Health notes

Cayenne pepper contains capsaicin, the compound responsible for its heat. Some research suggests capsaicin may have anti-inflammatory properties and could play a role in metabolism, though more studies are needed. The FDA considers cayenne pepper and its extracts to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for use in food. International bodies like JECFA have also evaluated it.

Allergen info

Cayenne red pepper is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
