Little known facts

The cayenne pepper is a red hot chili pepper for flavoring dishes. It's also used for medicinal purposes. The pepper is named after the city of Cayenne in French Guiana.

Cayenne is also called Capsicum. They are both interchangeable since they are both in the same family.

There are many fruits in the Capsicum family.

The activity of the herb is measured by its BTU (British Thermal Units) rating or should I say, how hot it is.

Cayenne is well known as the plant that bites back.
