Our Cayenne powder is an heirloom varietal called Arapaho, originally cultivated on the Great Plains. The peppers ripen to full maturity before being picked, and the powder is hot but not overpowering, with a sweeter backbone and slightly gentler bite than other Cayenne varieties. Perfect for adding heat to salsa, soups, stews, beans and roasted veggies.
