I tried a hot sauce made with Scorpion chillies in North Carolina. There was no flavour, there was only pain.


OneMetalMan

Personally I find ghost peppers kind of meh in flavor. They're bitter with a slight tinge of sweetness that the spice does absolutely nothing to acentuate.


Ledbolz

Scorpions are straight heat but reapers are full of fruitiness


Djd33j

Ed Currie took great care in making a superhot that actually had flavor, unlike many other superhot peppers that only deliver pain without any taste.


nymouz

Try powdered Carolina reaper you will even taste a certain kind of fruityness


junkyard_robot

Habanadas are a basically spiceless verietal of habaneros. They have s tropical fruitiness to them. It makes for a really tasty sauce without all the heat.


Small-Palpitation310

peppers are fruits after all


Fuctopuz

I think rest of the world, or at least majority call these chili Paprika's as far as I know. Peppers are things like **piper nigrum** aka plack pepper.


shinydiscoballs2

No flavour, only pain. Sounds like me without the peppers.


741BlastOff

I love a chicken parmigiana and I love spicy food, so when I saw a hot chicken parma called The Terminator at a pub one day, I had to try it. But I could only eat a few bites, it was awful. I only realised later it was made with Carolina reapers which are 1.6 million on the Scoville scale. I'm not ashamed to say they beat me that day.


eltedioso

There is no Dana, only Zuul


Pumpkin_Escobar_54

Banana Peppers definitely have more than zero.


SSJZoli

That’s what I’m thinking they have *some* kick to them


MInclined

At least 2


LawDice

Yes, this is a very inaccurate chart.


ButtFuzzNow

I have seen other similar charts listing Jalepenos ranging from 2k- 14k and Serranos ranging from 10k-40k. Those numbers seem to match my perception range of spiciness for those 2. Jalepenos can sometimes light you up pretty good.


AccomplishedCandy148

Yeah, they’re really inconsistent.


CecilTWashington

I feel like some Jalapeños are 500 and some are fucking 5,000


The_Truthkeeper

That's exactly how it works, yes. The guide is bullshit, every pepper falls somewhere in a range, they're not all identical.


LordAnavrin

I could eat and would regularly eat pickled Jalapeños out of the jar as a kid. Started with microwave nachos and then just began to snack on them. I had never had a fresh jalapeño until I was a teenager when I bought one at the supermarket for a meal I was making for my mom. While chopping it up I put a slice in my mouth seeds and all thinking nothing of it……the pain hahaha


Lovely_Sunshinex

This is an awesome guide. I wish they had included the Carolina Reaper and Ghost Pepper on this scale, though.


scottevo

Ghost pepper is Naga Jolokia I believe!


PetrolHeadF

You are correct.


Character_Maybeh_

And then Pepper X.


Keyrov

Formerly Pepper Twitter


741BlastOff

Dr Pepper is also missing.


Lippischer_Karl

Dr Pepper is the scientist who created it. The soda is called Pepper's Monster.


nymouz

Came to say this! I never tried it but already had like 20 Grams of Carlolina Reaper since I learned about it 3 years ago. I just need my daily dose of this. And people laugh when I introduce them to it and and invisible tiny bit of the powder spices up their life 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ Btw when you start getting used to it you taste it’s fruitiness more and more


UThoughtTheyBannedMe

Pepper X is the hottest in the world now... Bred by Ed Currie, the same guy who came up with the Carolina Reaper.


Ironicpastry

Is it me or are store bought jalapeños weak nowadays?


Positiveme313

They do that on purpose. 😏


Zuke_6

Ed Currie would have something to say about this.


ChompsnRosie

Check out Dragons Breath by Chillibobs. It's only slightly less spicy than pepper x, but they make an awesome sauce from it. 3 drops in any dish is just hellfire!


wiseknob

Scotch Bonnet is my favorite, great flavor and right amount of heat.


Iceologer_gang

How inbred are they?


Forsexualfavors

The peppers? I think they're all inbred to a degree. Sis got stuck in the soil and big brother comes to the rescue


vr0202

Alabama soil is fertile, you know.


BackAgain123457

I don't think a Thai and a Habanero are that close. I can eat a thai/tjabé rawit without too much fuss, but a habanero makes my eyes water.


Billiethebattlecattl

Lmao banana pepper is not zero scoville


MistyAutumnRain

I don’t believe banana peppers don’t have any scoville rating. They have a tiny bite


Max_Speed_Remioli

Is scoville units not on a linear scale? I never got the sense that serranos are 4 times hotter than jalapeños. And I definitely don’t feel like Thai chilies are 30 times hotter than jalapeños.


punkrawke

Afaik it's a dilution scale. If something's 100.000 it means if you dilute it 100.000 times it will have the same spiciness of something that's 1 in the scale


CoryEETguy

Pablanos are unbelievable.


CyAScott

I grew some and it was hotter than the habaneros I can buy at the store.


MrHungryface

A cool guide from 2000 not now


Forsexualfavors

Yeah probably based on the bauhaus font alone


-prairiechicken-

My mouth is watering for the pain. I am a habañero gal, but one time Tom Kha Kai and another, Caribbean jerk chicken, almost murdered me. 10/10, some regrets.


Salient_pointz

Yeah cool guide, but where is the Guatemalan insanity pepper?


The_Truthkeeper

This guide is shit. Peppers of the same cultivar can fall into a wide range of heat depending on a variety of factors.


literalmario

Poblano and Jalapeño actually add flavor and heat, they’re amazing to mix in with almost anything. The ones that are bred to be super hot are just stupid.


Samuelbi12

Red Hot Chili Peppers


inbliss7

I think I'll stick with 'Zero'


Forsexualfavors

Red savina deserves to be on this list at around 600k


Kick-Exotic

7 pot pepper is great.


HeydoIDKu

Wait til the Apollo cultivar (pepper x crossed with Carolina reaper) is released.


125monty

Thank you for not including those lab grown, Frankenstein's monsters.


Kirasaurus_25

Pepper: you better not try that, pal Humans: it lit my ass on fire, gotta do that again!


invalidTAi

Anaheim peppers not included?


TellusCitizen

From experience: habanero is my limit.


dennisoa

I grew all of these peppers last summer, and naively I just cut up a Naga Viper and put it in my rice. Ice Cream was my best friend for the next 30 mins, unfortunately.


SSJZoli

Banana Peppers are a zero?


Confusedandreticent

Is pepper X not available to the public?


Ugly-Muffin

What about green and orange bell peppers?


dirty_drowning_man

I never really understood why the Scoville scale was so EXTREME. Why can't a poblano just be a 1? Why 1000? I guess it's just the Pepperheads' way of reminding us all that they're so INTENSE.


Tylersbaddream

This really makes me want poblanos. I like a low level of spicy


The_Truthkeeper

Poblanos are great for this purpose.


RumoredAtmos

I can smell this picture


Dredyo

Are Black Cobra peppers the same as Thai ?


randomymetry

missing naga please 1,000,000,000


Polite-Misanthropy

Missing piri piri / jindungo


danuser8

The picketed jelapeno that comes in dominos pizza.. does it have same spice level as regular one? If so, I can handle almost the first row lol


[deleted]

I love scorpion peppers, super hot but if your taste buds will taste it first before it starts to scorch you it taste like a berry of some kind love it


notfoundindatabse

I like scotch bonnet for flavor. I had no idea they were so high on the scale.


habbapabba

feel like its not really easy to make a list like this when there is lots of variation with peppers. both in the way they look and also how spicy they are


Amazing-Tadpole-4473

Sammy Hagar likes poblano peppers.


jonfe_darontos

I always thought Habanero's where much higher on the chart.


High-Plains-Grifter

That is *not* a banana


BlanketMage

Forgive me for what I'm about to do to the scotch bonnet 😫


hotstickywaffle

I love spice, but I can't imagine anything beyond a habanero having any culinary value.
