The difference between ground cayenne pepper and paprika powder

There is difference between ground cayenne pepper, chilli pepper and red pepper. Nevertheless, it is often thought that they are very different varieties. Cayenne pepper, however, is very different from paprika. Paprika powder is ground paprika. Even though the two belong to the same family, the taste of paprika powder is a lot milder. There are also variants of 'sharp' or 'spicy' paprika. Its stronger flavour is caused by the fact that not only the flesh, but also the seeds are ground into powder. These contain the highest concentration of capsaicin, the substance responsible for the degree of spiciness.

Why is cayenne pepper ground so healthy

Cayenne pepper does a lot of good for your body. The capsaicin is not only responsible for its spicy flavour, but has health benefits as well. It is a true natural medicine. The carotenoids in the cayenne pepper are not only responsible for the strong colour, but also act as antioxidants that are converted into vitamin A in your body. Thanks to its pain-reducing effect, you can use cayenne pepper ground as a completely natural painkiller. It is also very effective against colds and has been proven to help you lose weight.
