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.)
