Cayenne Chile Powder

Cayenne chile powder is finely ground and delivers clean, direct heat with very little sweetness. The flavor is straightforward and sharp, building quickly as it’s added. Because it disperses evenly, a small amount goes a long way in soups, sauces, and spice blends. It’s best used a pinch at a time so you can control the heat.
