agree  Maria Meneses: Usaria a versão em português
1 hr
  -> Eu tb:)!!! Mas depende sempre se é uma trad. para Pt ou Pt-Br
agree  rothig: Concordo com os teus termos. Só acho que, se for numa receita, por exemplo, no Brasil a pessoa quebra muito mais a cabeça para procurar "pimenta caiena" do que com pimenta vermelha, quando, na verdade, você pode encontrá-la em qualquer esquina.

pimenta vermelha


Explanation:
...assim como em "bacalhau", que é produto elaborado com certos peixes, também "caiena" é elaborado com algumas espécies, principalmente Capsicum annuum e C.frutescens (malagueta). O termo "Caiena" é considerado inapropriado pela American Spice Trade Association, que prefere o uso de "pimenta vermelha".

Reference: Cayenne pepper

Reference information:
Cayenne pepper

A large red cayenne

Heat: Hot (SR: 30,000-50,000)

The cayenne, or Guinea pepper or bird pepper[1] is a hot, red chili pepper used to flavor dishes and for medicinal purposes. Named for the city of Cayenne in French Guiana, it is a cultivar of Capsicum annuum related to bell peppers, jalapeños, and others. The Capsicum genus is in the nightshade family (Solanaceae).

The fruits are generally dried and ground, or pulped and baked into cakes, which are then ground and sifted to make the powdered spice known as cayenne pepper.

Cayenne is used in cooking spicy dishes, as a powder or in its whole form (such as in Sichuan cuisine) or in a thin, vinegar-based sauce. It is generally rated at 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville Units. It is also used as a herbal supplement, and was mentioned by Nicholas Culpeper in his book Complete Herbal.[1]

[edit] Etymology
Cayenne crushed red pepper flakes

Cayenne pepper is considered to be a misnomer by the American Spice Trade Association, which prefers the more generic term red pepper. Generally speaking, any of a number of peppers are called cayenne.
