Badia Cayenne Pepper 4 oz Pack of 3

Badia cayenne pepper is ground hot red chile used to add direct heat to Latin and Caribbean cooking — no aromatics, no blend, just pure capsicum kick.

Common Uses: a pinch into picadillo, ropa vieja, and fricasé de pollo; stirred into carne guisada for back-end heat; bloomed in oil at the start of a sofrito; dusted onto frijoles negros before serving; rubbed into marinades for grilled meats.

Pantry Role: finishing sauce and base seasoning — use early to build heat into a braise, or finish to sharpen a finished plate.

Common In: Cuban, Mexican, and Caribbean home kitchens where cooks want to control heat separately from their adobo or sazón.

Pairs With: comino, oregano, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and Badia adobo — cayenne sharpens blends that lean savory but lack a bite.

Three 4 oz jars ship nationwide, enough to keep one on the spice rack and two in reserve.
