What to know about cayenne pepper
Cayenne pepper is pure dried, ground chili, so it is one of the most concentrated nightshades in the spice rack and it is high in salicylates too. Unlike paprika or chili powder, which are milder blends, cayenne is a single hot pepper ground to powder, so a small pinch delivers a big nightshade and salicylate load. It is a common hidden trigger in spice rubs and hot dishes.
Watch for
- One of the strongest nightshades you can add to food, since it is nothing but ground hot chili
- High in salicylates, so it can trigger people who react to aspirin or other salicylate-rich foods
- Not AIP compliant, and easy to overlook when it hides inside a spice blend or seasoning mix
