CAYENNE PEPPER

Cayenne pepper is an acrid and stimulating spice powder produced from several varieties of dried capsicum pods and seeds. Cayenne pepper is employed as a condiment to improve the flavour of food, aid digestion, and prevent flatulence. In medicine it is used as a stimulant, and is a valuable gargle for a relaxed throat.
