Starwest Botanicals Organic Cayenne Pepper Powder 35k HU - Adds Heat, Red Pepper Spice for Seasoning & Marinades, Derived from Capsaicin, Certified Kosher, Non-GMO - Bulk 1 lb Bag

This is good quality cayenne: good flavor, respectable heat. We use cayenne mostly in our hot chocolate blend and a few other recipes and for medicinal purposes. Cayenne has a lot of health benefits - it's our go-to when someone gets a cut. It will stop the bleeding quickly (pour it on or dip the cut in it). Decent price, too.

Love the sarsaparilla root! Excellent quality. Color is rich. Flavor is perfect, Quick service. Arrived earlier than expected. Looking forward to ordering more from them. Thank you!

Product is great, relatively cheap for the amount of Cayenne you get, it has great color, great flavor, great heat. A little will go a long ways so this product should last quite a long time. I use about 1 teaspoon to flavor a pan full of chicken. It was enough to give it a perfect amount of heat without overwhelming the other flavors. Would definitely recommend purchasing this product to anyone, and will purchase again myself when I run out. Package: This arrived in a silver ziplock bag. The outside of the bag clearly states it is 1lb. You could easily keep it in the bag since it is a ziplock, but I purchased several 10 1/8 canning jars to place my spices in. The 1lb bag filled 3.5 jars(roughly 35 ounces) if that gives you a better idea of the amount of spice you are purchasing. The pure volume of spice is quite a bit, but add on top of that how potent this stuff is and one bag will last you a very long time. As mentioned above a single teaspoon is enough to flavor a full pan of chicken and give it a decent amount of heat (and I enjoy heat). A tablespoon of this in a similar pan of chicken was too much heat. What I really love about this spice is that it adds great heat without drowning all the other flavors. Even when I used a tablespoon and it was really too much heat for the dish, it still didn't drown out all the other flavors. I can't say how much I really enjoy this spice, this is hands down the best quality spice I have in my cabinet. I would highly recommend this purchase to anyone looking for some high quality Cayenne and based on this purchase I would recommend Starwest spices period. I will be looking for other starwest spices myself in the near future.

Great quality. Bought it for health reasons. Been using it regularly and also recommending the brand to my friends. Will buy again.

I use this to make a diy icy hot. It mixed well, and does a great job, warming the skin. Soaks into the skin well and doesnt feel grandular. What else can i expect from starwest brand.

Got this. Meant to order organic but didn't read it correctly (my bad, got trigger happy with the checkout cart!). However, it is Kosher certified and originates from India. Opened it --good quality and filled the room with its wonderful aroma, so it was sealed rather well. And you only need a little for taste because, at 90K HU, it will knock your socks off (esp. if you are used to milder-tasting cayenne found in stores) It was so VERY tasty on the roast lemon-pepper chicken I made last night. I look forward to cooking with it (esp. some hot chili chocolate cake) and using it for medicinal purposes as well. The reason I knocked it down a star: the Ziploc seal on the foil bag is very flimsy and came apart after the second time opening it. Plus, there is no clear indication of whether or not this spice was irradiated or not.

Very HOT! My attic squirrel hates it. I use (a little) to season everything from eggs to home made salsa. Be careful of the heat. Having lived in NM for years I like hot food, and I still have to watch it. You know... you can add more, but removing it is just not gonna happen. I do like the flavor, but that's a personal thing. The best chilis are full of flavor, and for dried powder this stuff is pretty good. After reading the posts, I have begun to take some as a health additive, a little in a gelcap. No comment on that either way, other than I didn't get heartburn. Did I mention it's HOT? So I am slowly upping my dose; likely that's the recommended way to use it. I can't stress this enough. You CAN'T leave any spill or cloth you used to clean up a spill laying around. oh, yeah, don't vacuum it with a shop vac, either. I tried that, and threw the filter away. As I said, I bought it as a surprise gift for the attic squirrel and he hates it, though it worked great with a mask, goggles and a powder abrasive sprayer on low (20 psi) to 'gift' him in his home. But I didn't think about my clothes. A rub and a lick and I was in the shower, with the clothes in the washer before I got to the shower. I'm thick skinned but wearing clothes was the right choice. I'm just sayin... My squirrel has decided to move, but I'm not sure for how long yet. I plan to add some grease/cayenne powder mix around his entrance. Even if you just shake it out, Wear a mask. Wear goggles. Glasses are not enough. It's hot.

Love this company will always recommend their products!!! Very good value for my money and the color was very intense. The cayenne was just what I wanted the flavor and being organic is a plus. 10/10

Worst Cayenne powder I have ever had! I feel like red-brick powder might be spicier (facePalm)! If it is truly organic & you don't mind spending a little more to get a powder that is equal or less spicy than your regular chili powder, go ahead & pull the trigger. I will not be buying this sadness ever again. Eg. I make a mayo dip for fries and one of the seven ingredients I use is a Quarter Teaspoon of proper Cayenne but with this, I had to use TWO Tablespoons!

Starwest Botanicals Organic Cayenne Pepper is superb cayenne pepper. It has a great smell and taste. It mixes will for my daily cayenne drink mixed with lemon juice and maple syrup. It is is an excellent soup boost. It gives a nice little kick to otherwise boring food. Love it!!

arrived early from usa...only six days with the free delivery..much cheaper than uk pepper..i have lost eight pounds in the last two weeks by taking a level teaspoon mixed with half a squeezed lemon and half a glass of water three times a day...great product,great price

Both my wife and I use Cayenne in alot of our foods. We take a shaker of it to restaraunts. Here in Crete Greece they do not know what hot is. It is great on popcorn or to make your own cajun spice.

lovely tasting cayenne
