Botanical Name: Capsicum annuum
Country of Origin: India
Common Name: Cayenne Pepper
English Name: Cayenne Pepper Powder
Hindi Name: Lal Mirch Powder
Also Known As: Cayenne Pepper Powder 25,000 HU, Cayenne Chili Powder, Red Cayenne Pepper Powder, Capsicum annuum Powder, Cayenne Pepper Ground
Part Used: Dried ripe fruit of Capsicum annuum, finely milled
Description: Cayenne Pepper Powder (25,000 H.U.) is produced from the dried ripe fruits of Capsicum annuum, a cultivated chili pepper species grown widely in tropical and subtropical regions. The plants typically grow as bushy annuals or short-lived perennials, reaching 60–120 cm in height and producing elongated red peppers. Once mature, the peppers develop a bright red colour and firm skin, which contributes to the powder’s vivid red-orange tone.
When ground, the dried peppers yield a fine, uniform powder with a smooth texture and consistent colour. The 25,000 Heat Units (H.U.) rating indicates a moderate to strong pungency level commonly used in culinary and food formulation applications. The powder’s even particle size allows for controlled blending and accurate flavour distribution in dry mixtures.
Ripe peppers are harvested at full colour development, cleaned to remove stems and natural debris, and dried using controlled warm air methods to reduce moisture. After drying, the peppers are finely milled and sifted to achieve a consistent powder with uniform heat and colour. The process focuses on maintaining the natural characteristics of the pepper fruit without the use of additives or fillers.
Uses: Cayenne Pepper Powder (25,000 H.U.) is used in culinary seasoning blends, sauces, marinades, spice rubs, snack formulations, and dry mixes where controlled heat and bright colour are desired. It is also suitable for natural colouring applications, spice blending, and educational food projects that require a standardized chili powder with predictable pungency.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
