This strong pepper, of its Latin name 'Capsicum frutecens' 'is from Guyana, in South America and close to Central America. The strongest of all spicy spices is native to South America and has nothing to do with pepper, but consists of dried and finely ground pods. Soon the 'pepper' became known in all the major cities of Europe and very popular in the 18th century, especially in England, because the dishes from the Indian colony of the British crown could thus be well seasoned. Cayenne pepper is known today in almost all the kitchens in the world.
