(Cayenne Peppers) Cayenne peppers are mostly used in cooking
hot-spicy dishes. They can be used fresh and finely chopped or ground in a
blender for adding to chilies, curries, or other spicy recipes. Cayenne pepper
is usually sold as a powder or in a thin, vinegar-based sauce (hot sauce). It is
generally rated at 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville Units. When young and green, they
are less hot. The hotness produced by cayenne peppers is caused by its high
concentration of a substance called capsaicin. Technically referred to as
8-methyul-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide, capsaicin has been widely studied for its
pain-reducing effects, its cardiovascular benefits, and its ability to help
prevent ulcers. Capsaicin also effectively opens and drains congested nasal
passages. We could not find any nutritional information for whole cayenne
peppers; however, you can see the full nutritional chart for
ground cayenne pepper.

The
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!
