Capsicum annuum

ChiliCodexCDP.copy.heroTitle

Cayenne peppers are slender, curved, and fiery red. They deliver straight, focused heat with earthy brightness. The walls are thin, so they dry fast and grind into the classic shaker powder. Fresh cayennes bring immediate warmth to stir fries, soups, and stews. Makers blend them into Louisiana style hot sauces, combining cayenne mash with vinegar and salt. In Korean kitchens, similar pods become gochugaru, the backbone of kimchi. The flavor leans clean, with hints of tomato skin and hay. At 30,000 to 50,000 SHU, cayenne lands firmly in the Hot zone. Dependable heat, easy processing - certified by the Ministry of Daily Spice.

mildMild Chili Sauce

by Salsa Boy

Saus 01 is een milde maar zeer smaakvolle frisse, helderrode, fruitige chilisaus. De belangrijkste aromacomponenten zijn cayennepeper, jalapeñochili, limoensap, ui en knoflook. De groenten, inclusief de chili's, worden twee weken gefermenteerd voor een diep en complex smaakprofiel. Daarna gemengd met de extra ingrediënten zoals rijstazijn voor meer zuur en umami, ahornsiroop voor een unieke zoete smaak. Extra groenten zijn wortels en selderij die helpen om meer umami en body aan de saus toe te voegen. 01 is een ongelooflijk universele, lichte en frisse chilisaus die je ook kunt gebruiken als een klassieke Mexicaanse rode salsa.

Geschiedenis & Cultuur

Cayenne likely originated near French Guiana and northern Brazil, where indigenous peoples cultivated slender Capsicum annuum varieties. European explorers carried seeds back to the Old World in the 16th century. Portuguese traders spread cayenne along African and Asian trade routes, while French colonists linked the pepper's name to the Cayenne region. By the 19th century, cayenne powder was a staple in European apothecaries and kitchens. Today, it underpins Louisiana sauces, global chili powders, and countless pantry blends.

Plantkunde & Kweekinstructies

Cayenne plants thrive in warm, sunny climates and are forgiving to beginners. Start seeds indoors 8 weeks before the last frost. Transplant when soil temperatures pass 16°C. Plants grow 60 to 90 cm tall and produce dozens of slender pods. Provide well-drained soil, moderate feeding, and consistent moisture. Harvest green for milder flavor, or wait until the pods turn bright red for maximum heat and sweetness. Because the skins are thin, cayennes dry easily on screens or hanging strings.
