Spanish chilli / Cayenne

The Spanish chilli, also known as the ‘common’ pepper or cayenne pepper, is perhaps the most widely used pepper worldwide. Spanish or red/green/yellow/orange pepper is a collective name for the well-known chilli peppers. The pepper originates from Central America but is used worldwide in all kitchens. The Spanish chilli has a mildly hot taste, so it can be used in any dish. The red chilli peppers are slightly spicier than the green ones, do you want to know why?

Storage & shelf life
It is best to store the Scotch bonnet peppers in the fridge or in a cool, dark place in a scullery, basement cupboard, shed, etc. The ideal temperature is between 10°C and 13°C. Then the peppers will last the longest, around 7 to 14 days. If you cannot use everything fresh immediately, freeze the peppers, then you always have a supply of peppers.
