Wholesale Organic Cayenne

Cayenne, also known as African pepper and bird pepper, is the dried fruit of a type of red pepper plant original to Zanzibar now cultivated in other temperate zones throughout the world. The member of the nightshade family gets its genus name, Capsicum, from the Greek word that means “to bite,” while the common name is borrowed from the capital city of French Guiana. Although organic cayenne powder is most commonly used as a seasoning, it is also incorporated into topical salves. Customers may buy bulk cayenne pepper powder in ¼ pound and full pound quantities.
