This single-ingredient cayenne powder comes from dried red cayenne pods, ground to a smooth, usable powder. Sourced from India and certified organic and kosher, the Frontier Co-op version focuses on pure heat and pepper character without added spices or fillers. It’s a pantry staple for cooks who want reliable, high-heat spice for savory dishes, spice blends, and home remedies that rely on capsaicin-rich pepper.

How hot is this cayenne powder and how should I measure it?

The powder is rated at about 50,000+ Scoville Heat Units, placing it in the hot-to-very-hot category. Start conservatively — cayenne’s heat distributes quickly through liquids and fats, so a pinch can change a whole pot. Always add in small amounts and taste as you go.

• 50,000+ HU: reliably hot for spicing soups, stews, and sauces.
• Start with 1/8–1/4 teaspoon for 4 servings, then adjust.
• Dissolves well in oils and broths for even heat distribution.

What culinary uses work best for Frontier Co-op cayenne?

This ground cayenne shines where pure pepper heat is desired without extra flavoring agents. It’s ideal for boosting chili, Mexican and Southwestern dishes, dry rubs, hot sauces, and any recipe that needs a clean, sharp heat. It also mixes easily into dressings and marinades where color and warmth are wanted.

• Sprinkle into chili, tacos, enchiladas, and salsas for bright heat.
• Add to soups, stews, and curry bases to lift flavors.

How should I store and keep this pepper powder fresh?

• Keep sealed in a cool pantry or spice drawer.
