The cayenne pepper, a type of capsicum, is generally a hot chilli pepper that is frequently used to flavour various dishes.
This pepper is different from red chilli in terms of taste and aroma; the former has a sharp, little bit fruity, and a fiery taste. It is packed with many beneficial bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids, vitamin C, and carotenoids. You can enjoy this recipe with our quality ingredients at Whole Food Earth.
