Stress on the plant causes peppers to grow hotter. Ideal conditions where the plant has little or no stressors (no competition, adequate water and light, no diseases or pests, etc.) would reduce the production of capsicum, a pepper plant's natural defense against mammalian predators.

Well, using the Scoville rating (heat index) of one tablespoon of each type, it would be approximately as follows:

1 tablespoon of Jalapeno = 2500-5000 heat units

1 tablespoon of Cayenne = 30000-50000 heat units

So a tablespoon of Cayenne is approximately 8-10 times hotter than the same amount of Jalapeno pepper. Since a tablespoon is equal to three teaspoons, one third of a teaspoon of Cayenne would be pretty close.

They are not equivalent. The taste is different. Just season to your taste.

it is acidic because it says that it has acid and it aint bitter

Cayenne pepper can be purchased at most supermarkets in your local town in the spice aisle. In the alternative, feel free to browse Amazon as they will likely have it as well.

it has a very neutral taste, and hence is fantastic in stir-fries and the ilk

It supposed to be a blood thinner yet stop bleeding from what all the sites over the internet are saying. Personnally I've tried it, it did help my digestion. But I wonder if its gonna cure my ulcer.

All websites over the internet say YES!

Cayenne pepper is actually found in a lot of fat burning products. Cayenne pepper does not have a long lasting effect on your metabolism, but it does get it going for a short period of time. Cayenne pepper heats up your body, and when your body is hot, it burns calories in order to get it back to a cooler temperature.

There is no exact amount of chili peppers in a pound. The amount of peppers can vary based on how much the individual peppers weigh.

The most rapid and most effective diet plans currently available are the Lemonade and Cayenne pepper diet. This diet is also known as the Beyonce diet.

Yes

jh

Yes, it is.

Yes and no, both will add heat to your dish but cayenne pepper has a very specific flavor, while chili powder or red pepper flakes generally lack any specific flavor other than HOT. So yes you can substitute another chili for cayenne pepper but don't expect the dish to have that same cayenne flavor, though you probably won't even notice it's absence.

It will probably make you feel better, but it doesn't "kill" the virus or fight the infection directly. Cayenne pepper (or any chile powder made from hot peppers) is made from ground dried "chile peppers" that contain an active ingredient, capsaicin. It is known to ease symptoms such as nasal congestion, increased mucous, fever, malaise and body aches. Many people make it a habit to eat very hot foods, like Thai foods or Mexican foods, when they are suffering from a cold or the flu because of the mild euphoria, nasal passage clearing, and pain killing characteristics caused by the chiles in the ingredients. Try it next time and see if it helps.*

NOTE:

*If you are not accustomed to eating hot foods made with chiles, start with small amounts of chile powders sprinkled on at the table until you develop into a chilehead and are able to eat fire. If you bite off more than you can chew, one of the best "antidotes" is a bite of raw banana. It kills the mouth pain almost instantly. Other things that help are dairy foods (the casein in these helps to neutralize the action of the capsaicin) and the fat content helps to "dilute" and dissolve the vegetable fats that contain the capsaicin so that it can be more easily removed from your mouth. High fat premium ice cream is good, too. Water and alcohol don't help and tend to make it worse in most people. Something to absorb the chile oils to remove them from your mouth, such as dry saltine crackers, can also help...but banana is the best remedy.

The peppers can be red or green in color. The heat producing part of the plant actually has no color at all.

wallmart, super one foods, maybe save-a-lot and anywhere fresh produce is sold
