Well, using the Scoville rating (heat index) of one tablespoon of each type, it would be approximately as follows: 1 tablespoon of Jalapeno = 2500-5000 heat units 1 tablespoon of Cayenne = 30000-50000 heat units So a tablespoon of Cayenne is approximately 8-10 times hotter than the same amount of Jalapeno pepper.
