Cayenne Pepper

Cayenne pepper is a hot, red chili pepper (Capsicum annuum) commonly dried and ground into a powder, known for its spicy kick and use in cooking to flavour soups, sauces, meats, and even desserts for a sweet-spicy contrast. It offers vitamins (C, B6, K) and antioxidants, with potential digestive, circulatory, and metabolism-boosting benefits, but should be used cautiously by those with ulcers or latex allergies.
