"Heat" in peppers is measured on the Scoville Chile Heat index. This measurement is subjective and is not a precise measurement. Relative heat can change depending on a person's sensitivity to capsaicin, meaning that different people may have different experiences with the same pepper. The Scoville chart to the left represents the average response. The higher the number, the greater the heat. Peppers with Scoville Heat Units (SHU) of zero (0) are considered "sweet" peppers. For your benefit, we have included the Scoville rating for all the peppers we carry.
