Description

Many societies, especially those of the Americas and China, have a history of using cayenne pepper therapeutically. A powerful compound with many uses, cayenne pepper is currently gaining buzz for cleansing and detoxifying regimes such as the Master Cleanse, which uses the spice to stimulate circulation and neutralize acidity. Cayenne pepper is rated at 30,000-50,000 Scoville heat units (a measurement scale which rates the "hotness" of a spice or sauce derived from a chili pepper). That compares with the milder jalapeño's 2,500-5,000 units. A little goes a long way! Used both in cooking and medicine, it owes its hot flavor to a chemical called capsaicin, which comprises about 12% of the chile. WHY CAYANNE POWDER HOW TO ENJOY CAYENNE PEPPER Matches well with: cheese, corn, crab, eggplant, fish, lobster, onions, peppers, potatoes, rice, tomatoes Add cayenne powder into some of your favorite recipes for a bit of a kick and to boost your metabolism. If you're not someone who likes spicy food, there are still ways to add a bit into your food without making the dish overly spicy. One great way to do this is by adding a bit of cayenne pepper powder into your favorite Mexican dishes. Mexican food is generally a little spicy, without being overly spicy. Try cayenne powder in chili or taco meat for burritos. Add cayenne powder to soups and stews in a small amount, one to two pinches, and you will not detect the spice, but it will boost your metabolism significantly. As you become more accustomed to it, you may need to change your recipes a bit.
