McCormick Cayenne Pepper, Ground 14oz 396g
McCormick Cayenne Pepper is made from dried, ripe cayenne peppers that are finely ground to deliver intense heat and a deep red color. Cayenne is known for its sharp, direct spiciness rather than complex aroma, making it a reliable way to add heat without overpowering other flavors.
Ground cayenne pepper is commonly used in Mexican, Cajun, Southern, and global cuisines where controlled heat is essential. It blends easily into sauces, rubs, and seasonings, dispersing heat evenly throughout a dish.
Use cayenne pepper to add heat to chili, stews, tomato-based sauces, eggs, seafood, barbecue sauces, buffalo wings, nachos, and blackened meats. It is also popular as a finishing sprinkle on fries, popcorn, and roasted vegetables. Because cayenne is very hot, a small amount goes a long way—start with a pinch or dash and adjust to taste.
Cayenne pepper is extremely spicy and should be handled with care. Avoid contact with eyes or broken skin, and wash hands thoroughly after use.
