Pepper, Hot Red Ground (Cayenne)

Pepper, Hot Red Ground (Cayenne)
(Pepper, Hot Red Ground (Cayenne)) The ground hot red pepper we purchase is often referred to as cayenne pepper.  We use it in a wide variety of dishes to add a spicy flavor.  A little goes a long way!  The use of hot red pepper is a matter of taste, and we suggest that you try a little at a time until you reach the spiciness you desire.  See nutritional information below.

Spices, pepper, red or cayenne

Vegan FlagThe above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
