Cayenne pepper is a type of chili pepper that belongs to the nightshade family of flowering plants. It is named after the city of Cayenne in French Guiana. The peppers are usually dried and ground to make a powdered spice used for seasoning a variety of dishes, or they can be used fresh. Cayenne peppers are known for their hot and spicy flavor as they contain a high concentration of a substance called capsaicin, which is responsible for the heat sensation. In addition to its use in cooking, cayenne pepper also has various medicinal properties.

Cayenne pepper
The cayenne pepper—also known as the Guinea spice, cow-horn pepper, aleva, bird pepper, or, especially in its powdered form, red pepper—is a hot chili pepper used to flavour dishes. It is red colored when ripened to maturity, but also eaten while still green. It is a cultivar of Capsicum annuum related to bell peppers, jalapeños, paprika and others. The Capsicum genus is in the nightshade family. It is named for the city of Cayenne in French Guiana. The fruits are generally dried and ground, or pulped and baked into cakes, which are then ground and sifted to make the powdered spice of the same name. Cayenne is used in cooking spicy dishes, as a powder or in its whole form, or in a thin, vinegar-based sauce. It is generally rated at 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville units. It is also used as an herbal supplement, and was mentioned by Nicholas Culpeper in his Complete Herbal, 1653, as "guinea pepper" a misnomer for "guiana pepper".
