Summary

The cayenne pepper is a hot and spicy chili pepper that originated in Central and South America. The pepper gets its name from the city of Cayenne in French Guiana. Cayenne Long Thin is a variety of cayenne that produces high yields of red wrinkled peppers. These peppers are 5 to 6 inches long with thin flesh. With a scoville heat unit rating of 30,000 - 50,000, these peppers are perfect for drying and spicing up your salsa or chili. Cayenne peppers get their fiery and zesty kick from the amount of high concentration of capsaicin.
