Cayenne

This is an elongated and sharply pointed bright red pepper with a taste that is tart and smoky with a hint of tomato. Different varieties produce different heat levels, which may very greatly from the milder ones at 3,500 S.U. to the hotter ones at 50,000 S.U. The cayenne pepper is a staple in Southern cooking and is used in several Trappey’s pepper sauces.
