Cayenne Pepper drew my attention after having read an eye-opening book my mum had given me, "Left for Dead" by Dick Quinn. I advise reading it. Also known as the Guinea spice, aleva, cow-horn pepper, and bird pepper, Cayenne Pepper is believed having originated in Cayenne, French Guiana. This brightly-red coloured potent herb has been respected for its healing qualities since ancient times. It is rightfully nicknamed the "King of Herbs" and is considered to be more potent than any other herb.
