Product Description

Ground Cayenne Red Pepper is popular among chefs and home cooks looking to enliven their dishes with vibrant flavor and fiery spice. They use it to add heat to everything from guacamole, salsa and tacos to chili and gumbo. McCormick Ground Cayenne Red Pepper always starts with whole, ripe peppers. Peppers that make the grade are harvested, gently dried then milled. Our ground red pepper offers zesty heat, vivid red color and balanced flavor. You’ll find it turning up the heat in cuisines around the world – it’s in Korean kimchi, Mexican moles, Indian curries and so much more. Use it to wake up the flavor at your table – a dash to 1/8 tsp in most recipes that serve 4 or add to taste for a spicy kick.

McCormick Ground Cayenne Red Pepper has become a staple in my kitchen, and I can't sing its praises enough. This 14 oz container of fiery goodness has truly elevated my culinary creations and added a delightful kick to a wide range of dishes.

First and foremost, the quality of McCormick spices is outstanding, and their Ground Cayenne Red Pepper is no exception. The vibrant red color and fresh aroma are indicative of the high-quality peppers used in this spice. It packs a potent punch of heat that is perfect for those who appreciate a little or a lot of spice in their meals.

The versatility of this spice is truly remarkable. Whether I'm making chili, curry, pasta sauce, or even just spicing up my morning eggs, a pinch of McCormick's Cayenne Red Pepper does the job beautifully. It adds depth of flavor and heat that elevates my dishes to the next level.

The resealable container is a thoughtful touch. It keeps the spice fresh and prevents clumping, which can be an issue with lesser-quality containers. The large 14 oz size is also a fantastic value for those who use this spice frequently, as it ensures you won't run out too quickly.

Furthermore, the convenience of having this spice readily available in my pantry has made meal preparation a breeze. I love that I can adjust the level of heat in my dishes easily by simply adding a bit more or less of this cayenne pepper.

In conclusion, McCormick Ground Cayenne Red Pepper is a culinary superstar that deserves a permanent place in any spice rack. Its exceptional quality, versatility, and convenient packaging make it an essential ingredient for adding a kick of flavor and heat to a wide variety of dishes. I wholeheartedly give this product five stars, and I can't imagine cooking without it. If you enjoy spicy food, do yourself a favor and pick up a container—you won't be disappointed! 🔥🌶️👨‍🍳

McCormick's cayenne is full of yummy flavor

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2023

Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

We know some folks tend to shy away from eating anything spicy, so the very mention of cayenne used in a recipe may have them automatically turning the dish down when it is offered to them. However, cayenne, when used in moderation, adds loads of flavor and very little heat. So, we use it in all kinds of things, particularly in anything needing to be dredged in flour. I simply sprinkle it into the flour (along with small quantities of seasoning salt, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and paprika), whisk it all together, and then dip the protein I'm cooking in it before pan frying. It is also great in homemade taco seasoning, and it always goes in the pot when I'm making Cajun or Southern recipes. Needless to say, I use a lot of it, and this size package saves me money and ensures I always have it on hand. Of course you can get less expensive store brands at other places, but those brands often are lackluster in taste. That's why we rely on McCormick seasonings. They always are bursting with flavor and delicious. Also, here's a tip we learned at the Santa Fe School of Cooking years ago: if you really want to release the flavors of your dried spices, heat a dry cast iron skillet over medium heat and warm up your spices for a minute or two before adding them to the recipe. The heat releases the oils in the spices, and the result is more robust flavor and an aroma that will fill your house with mouthwatering smells. You'll love it!

Nice flavor and aroma!
McCormick brand is very popular and dependable. I have many of their products in my pantry and on my spice rack. For me the bulk size is cost effective as I go through quite a bit of seasoning and spices. If you like, McCormick does have a Culinary line of products and I use those as well. I will shop by price sometimes and that will lead me to the Badia and Happy Belly brands which aren't all that bad, but I prefer the McCormick brand over most others.
