Every serving below is a USDA household measure for this food, a fraction of one, or a unit conversion. Amounts are USDA values scaled by weight; only the Nutrition Facts panel applies the coarser FDA label rounding.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 tsp | 1.8 g | 6 | 1 g | 0.2 g | 0.3 g | 0.5 g | 0.2 g |
| 1 tbsp | 5.3 g | 17 | 3 g | 0.6 g | 0.9 g | 1.4 g | 0.5 g |

Cayenne pepper (1 tsp, 1.8 g) has 6 calories. 100 g has 318 calories. On a Nutrition Facts label, calories are rounded to the nearest 5 or 10, so the panel above may show 5.
A teaspoon of ground cayenne pepper (1.8 g) has about 6 calories in this USDA record, and a tablespoon (5.3 g) about 17. Per 100 g it lists 318, but a normal amount is only a pinch or a teaspoon.
100 g of cayenne pepper has 318 calories, 12 g protein, 56.6 g carbohydrate, 27.2 g fiber, 10.3 g sugars and 17.3 g fat.
About 53% of the calories in cayenne pepper come from carbohydrate, 36% from fat and 11% from protein (Atwater factors of 4, 9 and 4 calories per gram).
Per 100 g, compared with the other 68 herbs, spices and flavorings in this database, cayenne pepper has more calories than 72% of them and more protein than 65%.
The same serving of cayenne pepper, drawn by the label formats other markets require: the Canadian bilingual Nutrition Facts table, the EU nutrition declaration (per 100 g, energy in kJ and kcal, salt instead of sodium) and the UK nutrition information table with reference intakes. The generator switches between these and many more from one recipe.

If you make and sell a product that contains cayenne pepper, these free tools cover the next steps.
Nutrient values are from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy (April 2018 release, public domain), record 170932: "Spices, pepper, red or cayenne". Values are stored per 100 g exactly as USDA reports them and scaled to each serving by weight. The Nutrition Facts panel applies the FDA rounding rules in 21 CFR 101.9; tables and text show the scaled amounts at reading precision, so a figure can differ slightly from the panel. A nutrient USDA does not report for this food is shown as not reported, never as a guessed value.
SR Legacy predates the added sugars field. This is a whole or unsweetened food, so added sugars are shown as 0 g. View the USDA record ↗
