Cayenne Pepper – Bold Heat for the Kitchen & Beyond

Few spices command attention quite like cayenne. That vivid red color, that slow-building warmth that lingers on the palate — cayenne is a kitchen essential that has earned its place in spice cabinets around the world. We carry our cayenne in three forms so you can choose exactly the heat level and texture that suits your cooking and herbal needs.

Choose Your Heat

• Crushed Cayenne Flakes — Coarsely crushed pepper flakes with visible seeds and skin. Warm, bold, and perfect for sprinkling over pizza, pasta, soups, and marinades. A great all-purpose kitchen staple.
• Ground Cayenne 40,000 SHU — A warm, approachable heat level ideal for everyday cooking. (SHU = Scoville Heat Units, the standard measure of pepper heat.) Great for chili, rubs, sauces, and seasoning blends.
• Ground Cayenne 90,000 SHU — This one means business. Significantly hotter than the 40,000 SHU, this is for those who love serious heat in their cooking or herbal preparations. Use with a light hand!

In the Kitchen

Cayenne is one of the most versatile spices in any pantry. Use it to add depth and heat to chili, soups, stews, marinades, dry rubs, hot sauces, and spice blends. A pinch of cayenne brightens up everything from scrambled eggs to chocolate desserts.
