1) Contents: Theoretically, nothing. I just bought a container of McCormick
ground red pepper, and in parentheses, it said "cayenne", which is just what
I wanted. Check the label.

2) Consistency: Red pepper flakes aren't appropriate in some recipes.
Sometimes you need a powder. The flakes usually have seeds mixed in, and
their hotness is not as consistent as the skin's.
