Harvesting

Organic Cayenne Pepper is typically harvested from the Capsicum annuum plant, which is a type of hot chilli pepper. The plant is usually grown in warm and sunny climates, and the peppers are ready for harvest in late summer to early autumn. The peppers are hand-picked when they reach their peak ripeness, usually when they have turned bright red.

After harvesting, the peppers are typically dried and ground into a fine powder, which gives cayenne pepper its characteristic vibrant red colour. As a natural raw product, cayenne pepper is rich in nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin C, and various minerals including potassium and manganese. These nutrients contribute to the health benefits associated with cayenne pepper, such as its potential to boost metabolism and improve digestive health. As an organic product, cayenne pepper is grown without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, making it a popular choice if you prefer natural and sustainable ingredients.

The organic nature of Organic Cayenne Pepper means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Cayenne Pepper in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.
