Place of origin: India
Cayenne pepper is not pepper, but the coarse ground spice of a hot-tasting chili pepper.
A key ingredient in many spice blends, its name comes from the Tupi Indians' word quiínia ("pepper") and is likely related to the name of the South American city of Cayenne as well. The common pepper variety is also called Cayenne pepper. (In English, Cayenne pepper refers to both this type of pepper and Cayenne pepper.)
In the preparation of Cayenne pepper, in addition to some varieties of the ordinary pepper, the fruits of other pepper species such as bush pepper and berry pepper are often used. The ground powder available in stores is often enriched with salt and other spices.
Since our paprika is stronger, spicier, and more pungent than usual, it should be used sparingly and cautiously!
Usable:
It is used for strong, spicy sauces, marinades, roasted meats, grilled meats and fish, rice, egg dishes, and pickling vegetables.
The main active ingredient of cayenne pepper is capsaicin, which is responsible for its hot taste. (Due to its high capsaicin content, it is advisable to store it well sealed, protected from light, in dark glass or a box.)
In addition to capsaicin, it contains vitamins A, C, E, and B6, as well as potassium, manganese, copper, iron, and powerful antioxidant flavonoids.
Cayenne pepper, as well as the capsaicin found in it, helps reduce appetite and boost metabolism, so not only do we consume fewer calories, but we also burn more energy.
