Good For: Best  known for its use as a powder, but it can be used fresh in almost any  dish. The cayenne pepper is the spicy element of many Cajun dishes and  is the often the pepper used for "Crushed Red Pepper Flakes" for pizza  etc. One of the most versatile hot peppers (aside from Jalapeno)  available. Use them fresh, dry them for powder, roast them, ferment  them, mash them or freeze them for later. Cayenne is a hot pepper that  does not lack on flavor. Delicious, savory, pungent, a true favorite of  hot sauce lovers. Hot enough for the non-timid but cool enough for a  delicate palette. The Cayenne pepper is a type of Capsicum annuum, as  are bell peppers, jalapeños, and pimientos. Cayenne's are the base of  popular hot sauces such as Crystal Hot Sauce, among others. (When  Ramsey's talking about chopping up a hot chili, it’s probably a  cayenne.)
