Utilization:
To best utilize cayenne pepper, remember that a little goes a long way due to its significant heat. Start with a pinch in dishes like soups, stews, chili, or stir-fries, and taste as you go, gradually adding more to reach your desired spice level. Cayenne is versatile; it can add a warm kick to savory dishes and surprisingly complements sweet items like hot chocolate, smoothies, or even desserts with chocolate or fruit. For a deeper flavor, try "blooming" it by adding it to hot oil at the beginning of cooking. Beyond culinary uses, small amounts can be added to warm water with honey and lemon. When handling fresh cayenne, be mindful of its potential to irritate skin and eyes.
