Further InformationEdit Edit

This C. annuum cultivar. Ripens to red, long/tapered pods. Rates 30,000–50,000 SHU, which means solid heat — enough to make you pay attention. Roots trace to French Guiana (historical). Cayenne types are long, thin-walled drying peppers — the workhorses of the global spice trade.
