I little random but Im wondering if anyone knows where one could get Cayenne Pepper spice? Ive got a KILLER sore throat, maybe strep, and last time I had this sore throat Cayenne Pepper was the godsend and natural cure. Im about to head off to Carrefour, but in case they don't have it you guys know anywhere that might? Cheers, Oz

You won't have any trouble finding cayenne pepper. Mine came from Delta Dewata in Ubud but you should find it easily. Didn't know you could use it for a sore throat. Seems like it would be very painful to swallow any cayenne pepper with a sore throat. How do you use it?

Funny you should ask, I went off looking for it the other day as cayenne pepper is supposed to be great for a lot of things including improving blood circulation. I went to Carrefour but couldn't find it, not even in the imported section. Chili powder sure, but that isn't the same thing. I ended up going to Bali Deli where they had it for rp 24,500 for 100 grams. I am going to check the local market to see if I can find bubuk cabe rawit, which is basically the same thing just a little stronger but for cheaper. I take a heaping teaspoon twice a day mixed in with a few ounces of warm water just like a shot. I feel healthier since starting it.

You TWO are AWESOME! Cali, Im going to head to Bali Deli RIGHT NOW! Im starting to find it hard even talking:icon_e_sad: Polly, its best to 'gargle' the cayenne pepper in warm water with a pinch of natural salt (celtic if possible). you can drink it as well like Cali said. Honesty, its a unbelievable natural remedy. Raw, unpasteurized Apple Cider Vinegar is also very good too for sore throats. THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU again guys!

The best & fastest way to get rid of a sore throat is to eat lemons! Cut a lemon up into four pieces, bite into it and swallow the juice. Don't put any sweetener on it, and eat the lemons every few hours, you should get immediate relief. The citric acid kills the bacteria and virus causing the irritation. Also fresh ginger root tea is great remedy as well. Chop up the fresh ginger root and boil it in hot water, strain and drink. Sip on it all day.

I do not think Cayenne pepper is the same as cabe rawit. Cayenne is quite mild and used in stews such as goulash. More clouring than bite. Be careful with cabe rawit as it is pretty hot.

I emailed one of the top resources for cayenne pepper online and asked him about that. He said that cabe rawit is not quite the same thing, but actually contains a bit more of that good stuff that people are looking for from cayenne pepper. It is a bit spicier, but cayenne pepper is definitely very hot to begin with.

I think the mild spice used in goulash is more often paprika, and in my experience cayenne pepper is hot. Wikipedia describes cayenne pepper as [quote] The cayenne pepper—also known as the Guinea spice,] cow-horn pepper, aleva, bird pepper, or, especially in its powdered form, red pepper—is a red, hot 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 [/quote] and paprika as [quote] Paprika is a spice made from the grinding of dried fruits of Capsicum annuum (e.g., bell peppers or chili peppers). In many European languages, the word paprika refers to bell peppers themselves. The seasoning is used in many cuisines to add color and flavor to dishes. Paprika can range from mild to hot. Flavors also vary from country to country. [/quote] And finally, Google Translate says [B]cabe rawit[/B] is [B]cayenne pepper[/B] - so how could you argue with that?

Absolutely correct as I meant paprika and wrote cayenne. My face is as red as both :-)
