Fox’s Spices Cayenne Pepper Powder 550g

Cayenne Pepper

Fox’s Spices Cayenne Pepper Powder 550g is a bright red, finely ground chilli powder with a clean, fiery heat. Made from dried cayenne chillies, it has a sharp, direct spiciness rather than a smoky flavour, so it is ideal when you want straightforward heat in your cooking. The texture is smooth and free flowing, which makes it easy to sprinkle, measure and mix into sauces, marinades and dry rubs. Ground cayenne pepper is widely used in dishes such as chilli, curries, stews and spicy snacks, and it is also popular for adding a kick to eggs, pasta, soups and potato dishes. If you are wondering what cayenne pepper powder tastes like, it sits between medium and hot, giving warmth that builds without drowning out other flavours when used in sensible amounts.

• Fox’s Spices Cayenne Pepper Powder comes in a generous 550g tub that suits regular use in everyday cooking and larger batch recipes.
• Fine, even powder that blends quickly into sauces, soups, spice rubs and marinades for a consistent level of heat throughout the dish.
• Straightforward, pungent chilli heat without smokiness, making it a handy base for many different cuisines and spice blends.

How hot is cayenne pepper powder?

Cayenne pepper is generally classed as a medium to hot chilli, sitting above standard chilli powder and below very hot chillies such as habanero. In most recipes only a small pinch or teaspoon is needed to give noticeable heat, and you can increase or decrease the amount to suit your taste.

What is cayenne pepper used for in cooking?

Cayenne pepper powder is used to add heat and flavour to a wide range of savoury dishes, including stews, curries, chilli, marinades, sauces and spice rubs. It is also often added in tiny amounts to snacks, egg dishes and cheese based recipes to give a gentle kick without changing the main flavour of the dish.

Is cayenne pepper the same as chilli powder?

Cayenne pepper powder is made from cayenne chillies alone, while generic chilli powder is often a blend of several chillies and extra spices such as cumin, garlic and oregano. This means cayenne pepper has a cleaner, more direct heat, and using it gives you more control over the overall flavour because you can choose which other spices to add separately.
