Etymology

The genus name Capsicum derives from the Greek kapto, "to bite," in reference to the spicy flavor. The common name cayenne is taken from that of a French Guiana town of the same name on the northeast coast of South America.

Range of Appearance

Native to the Americas, cayenne has many varieties which can grow as annuals or perennials and as small herbs or small shrubs. The plant features simple five-lobed leaves and usually white flowers. The fruit is long, twisting, and red to orange-red. In the garden cayenne enjoys full sun and can tolerate dry conditions.

Culinary Uses

Cayenne peppers are edible, though how edible they are depends on a person's tolerance for their heat. Cayenne is widely used as a seasoning.
