Cayenne
Named for the city of Cayenne in French Guiana, though the connection is historical rather than geographic — cayenne types grow worldwide now. Long, thin, red pods dried and ground into the ubiquitous cayenne powder. 30,000–50,000 SHU. A workhorse pepper in global spice trade, not glamorous but absolutely foundational. Long-podded form; also listed as Long Cayenne. Sweet/mild selection.
