Cayenne pepper
Also called: Basbaas shiidan (cayenne) (Soomaali) · Piment de Cayenne (Français) · فلفل الكايين (العربية)
Good to know
Cayenne is pure ground hot chilli, much hotter than paprika or ‘chili powder’ blends, so don’t swap them one for one. A bright red colour means it’s fresh; dull, brownish powder has lost its punch.
