}Explanation
Convert grams of cayenne pepper to teaspoons with the teaspoon measure derived from the same ingredient density.
Since 1 teaspoon is 1/48 of a US cup, spoon and cup estimates use the same basis. That is especially useful for rubs, spice blends, and recipe scaling where small spoon measures add up quickly. Cayenne Pepper can vary with grind size and how loosely it fills a spoon or cup, so the page keeps one fixed basis for repeatable reference use.
