Description

A true kitchen workhorse, the Cayenne is beloved worldwide for its reliable heat and slender, wrinkled pods. Growing to about 10–15cm in length, these peppers start dark green and ripen to a brilliant, glossy red. They are arguably the easiest chili to dry for homemade chili flakes or for grinding into your own signature hot spice powder.
