Pinch Cayenne Pepper

Pinch Cayenne Pepper is a dry seasoning used in small amounts for aroma and flavor. Add gradually, taste as you go, and refresh it when the smell turns dull.

Identity

Dry seasoning

Use small amounts and refresh stale jars.

Dry seasonings spread quickly through a dish. Add a little at a time, bloom in fat when the recipe calls for it, and replace the jar when the aroma turns flat.
