Chapter 1: Cayenne Pepper A General Overview

Cayenne pepper is also commonly called as bird pepper, aleva, cow-horn pepper, Guinea spice, or red pepper (particularly in its powdered form). This type of pepper is among the thousands of Capsicum cultivars grown all around the world. It is related to paprika, jalapenos, and bell peppers among others. The genus Capsicum belongs to the family Solanacea. Cayenne pepper is a hot chili pepper which is used to add flavor to meals. Its name was derived from the city of Cayenne in French Guiana.

Most commonly, the fruits of the cayenne plant are dried and ground. They may also be pulped and baked and formed into cakes, which are then ground and sifted to create a spice in powdered form with the same name.

Cayenne pepper is utilized in the preparation of spicy meals, in its whole form or as a powder. It is popular in Sichuan, Korean, and other Asian cuisine. It may also be used as an additional flavoring in thin, vinegar-based sauces. According to the Scoville units, cayenne is rated 30,000 to 50,000 units in terms of heat. It may also be utilized as an herbal remedy, which was promoted in the book Complete Herbal written by Nicholas Culpeper in 1653 as guinea pepper, a misnomer for Guiana pepper.

Capsicum annuum, the most commonly grown varieties of cayenne, can be cultivated in different locations and require only about 100 days to mature. Peppers thrive well in moist and nutrient-abundant soil in a warm climate. In general, the plants grow to around 39 inches long in height and must be spaced about 1 meter apart.

These plants are basically perennial in tropical and subtropical regions; although, they are commonly cultivated as annuals in temperate regions. If protected from frost, chilies can be overwintered; although they may need some pruning.

Nutrition

Cayenne pepper contains considerable amounts of vitamin A. It also contains manganese, potassium, riboflavin, vitamin C, vitamin E and vitamin B6. Taking into consideration the minute amounts of cayenne that is usually consumed in a serving, it makes an almost negligible contribution to the entire dietary consumption of such nutrients.

The consumption of cayenne pepper speeds up the metabolism and dilates the blood vessels because of the high amounts of capsaicin. When cayenne pepper is consumed, the amount of heat that the human body releases is affected. In recent studies involving animals, capsaicin was reported to have the ability to increase metabolism which results to weight reduction. This boosts circulation and blood flow to the major organs which promotes better nutrient and oxygen delivery.

Cayenne pepper may promote a healthy balance of energy while suppressing the appetite. It has also been reported to boost the expenditure of energy, so it serves as a metabolism booster and is helpful in long-term weight reduction. It has also been reported that there is a link between capsaicin and oxidation. Treatment with capsaicin was shown to sustain fat oxidation during weight maintenance, but did not have an impact on weight regain.

Cayenne pepper was also reported to function as an aphrodisiac since it contains capsaicin. In addition to this, cayenne pepper has been indicated to help in the oxidation of adipose tissue, encourage healthy production of mucus in the membranes that line the internal organs, help regulate the digestive system, regulate tissue production and liver function and help regulate high blood pressure.
