Thick cayenne peppers, a variant of the common cayenne, are distinguished by their robust, often thicker walls compared to the standard cayenne variety. These peppers, belonging to the Capsicum annuum species, are celebrated for their heat and distinctive flavor, which ranges from moderately hot to very hot, often measured between 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville Heat Units. Originating from South America, cayenne peppers were brought to Europe by explorers like Christopher Columbus and later spread globally, becoming integral in various cuisines for their spice. The name "cayenne" derives from the city of Cayenne in French Guiana, reflecting their historical significance in that region. Over time, selective breeding has led to different cultivars, including these thick varieties, which might offer a slightly different culinary profile due to their meatier texture.
