        I don’t really understand, isn’t cayenne powder a subtype of chili powder? (cayenne being a chili pepper)’

        I’m not a native English speaker, so I’m very much taking this as a learning opportunity ^^

          Chili Powder is any type of chili peppers ground to a powder and it’s spicy but not overwhelmingly so

          Cayenne Powder is made specifically from Cayenne Peppers (which IS part of the chili family) which is generally MUCH spicier. Like 10x as spicy
