yes and no, a cayenne pepper is a species of chili peppers...just like bell peppers, paprika, jalepenos, tabasco, habenero, etc. I believe chili powder is a combination of several differant dried and crushed peppers mixed with cumin, garlic, oregeno, cloves, coriander, [regular black] pepper, and salt as cayenne pepper is only made from dried and ground cayenne peppers and sometimes mixed with a few of its close relatives aka red pepper. It definitely smells and tastes differantly either way.Originally Posted by RandomGuy
Kinda strange that tabasco sauce is not even made from tabasco peppers...it's made from cayenne peppers. Speaking of tabasco, I should gather up all our hot sauces and take a picture...a girl here once said, it's not the variety of hot sauces you have that's disturbing but the amount left in each bottle
