Cayenne Pepper – Fiery Spice with a Nutrient Boost

Cayenne pepper is a dried and powdered fruit from the nightshade family, cherished for its bold flavour and rich history. Used for thousands of years, Cayenne is one of the most popular spices worldwide, grown across Asia, the Americas, and beyond.

The key active compound in Cayenne is capsaicin — the higher the capsaicin content, the hotter the pepper and the more nutritional benefits it offers.

Nutritional Benefits:

• A natural source of capsaicin, known for its warming properties.
• Contains vitamins A, C, and E, supporting overall vitality.
• Provides essential minerals such as potassium and manganese.
• Naturally rich in antioxidants, which help protect cells from oxidative stress.

Cayenne doesn’t just bring heat to your food — as a thermogenic plant, it also brings heat to the body, making it an essential spice for raw fooders looking to stay warm and energised.
