Badia Organic Cayenne Pepper Spice, 1.75 oz

Badia Organic Cayenne Pepper is finely ground dried red cayenne chiles — pure heat with a clean, slightly fruity edge. Use it anywhere you want sharp, building warmth without changing the base flavor of the dish.

Common Uses

Whisk into dry rubs for ribs, brisket, wings, and blackened fish. Stir into chili, gumbo, jambalaya, and pots of beans. Add a pinch to mac and cheese, scrambled eggs, or melted butter for popcorn and corn on the cob. Bloom in oil to start arrabbiata, Sichuan-style stir-fries, or chile-garlic shrimp. Dust onto roasted nuts, fried chicken dredge, or chocolate desserts to round out sweetness.

Pantry Role

The default dial for heat. More direct than chili powder, more shelf-stable than fresh chiles, and consistent batch to batch — which matters when you're seasoning by the pinch.

Pro Tip

Add cayenne early so the heat distributes evenly, but taste at the end. Heat perception builds for several minutes after stirring, so under-season, wait, then adjust.
