Cayenne is the heat engine of the spice cabinet ‚ finely ground, reliably fiery, and ready to lift any dish that needs a kick. At around 40,000 Scoville units, it rates about a 4-5 out of 10 and adds clean heat without muddying other flavors. Start with a dash and build ‚ it's far easier to add more than to walk back the fire. Essential in chilis, curries, and marinades.
