Cayenne Pepper

Cayenne Pepper comes from hot chili peppers. The fruits get dried and grounded or mashed and baked into cakes, which are then grounded and sieved to make the spice powder of the same name. It is argued that adding a small amount of cayenne pepper to your daily diet, could help those, who are watching their weight to eat less. This is because of capsaicin, the substance that gives hot peppers and pepper their characteristic taste and can reduce appetite and increase calorie burning.
