Ground Cayenne (90M HU)

Ground cayenne pepper (90M HU) is an extremely spicy powdered form of cayenne pepper, with a heat rating of 90 million Scoville Heat Units (SHU) or more. The Scoville scale measures the heat of chili peppers, with higher numbers indicating greater heat. Cayenne pepper is made from dried and ground chili peppers, typically of the Capsicum annuum species. This level of spiciness is among the highest recorded and should be used with extreme caution.

Due to its incredibly high heat level, ground cayenne pepper (90M HU) is not commonly used in culinary applications and is often used sparingly in highly spicy dishes. It can add intense heat and flavor to foods, but due to its potency, it is not suitable for everyone's taste buds. Additionally, cayenne pepper is believed to have potential health benefits due to its capsaicin content, including pain relief, improved circulation, and metabolism boosting properties. However, consuming extremely spicy foods can also irritate the digestive system in some individuals, so moderation is key.
