Explanation

Calculation basis: 48 teaspoons per cup divided by grams per US cup.

Cayenne Pepper uses a recorded reference of 96 grams per US cup in this dataset. Confidence: low. Source basis: and1 ingredient weight chart: 1 tablespoon cayenne = 6 g (derived to 1 cup = 96 g) https://www.and1.com/measurements/cups-in-gram/

Evidence status: source-unverified. The cited AND1 source has not been independently verified. Its current domain context does not establish the original measurement. Whole versus ground form, grind size, settling, and leveling are important because these concentrated ingredients are commonly measured in small volumes.
