Product Description
Steenbergs Organic Cayenne Pepper is a premium ground chilli. It’s Capsicum frutescens ‘Super Hot Demon’. It is a pure spice, untouched by chemicals.
Organic Cayenne Pepper is a brick red colour and has a medium heat with hints of sweetness and no bitterness. It goes well in curries, Tunisian harissa or a Mexican mole sauce. You can sprinkle it over eggs to perk them up or any tomato sauces for some heat.
We source great quality Organic Cayenne Pepper. It is a medium heat, single strain of chilli grown in Murcia, Spain. We’ve been buying from the same family of growers for over 20 years.
Axel’s Tasting Notes: Cayenne Pepper is Hot: medium-high heat with notes of sweet fruit.
