Is cayenne pepper low FODMAP?
Cayenne pepper is low FODMAP at typical servings (1 tsp (2g)).
Pure ground cayenne is low at a culinary teaspoon. Unlike most jarred chili powder, it is a single chili with no added onion or garlic, so it is a clean way to add heat. The capsaicin itself can feel harsh on some sensitive guts.
