SCOVILLE HOT PEPPER RATINGS TABLE
The Scoville Heat Scale is a measuring tool developed by a pharmaceutical company
employee named Wilbur Scoville in 1912. His original method was called the Scoville
Organoleptic Test and used human tasters to evaluate how many parts of sugar water it
takes to neutralize the heat. The whole pepper would be ground up and then mixed
with the sugar water. The testers would taste the pepper-water mixture, and the sugar
water would then be increased until the pepper was no longer hot to the taster. The
peppers would be given a numerical value based on the number of times the dilution
was added to mask the heat. For example, if a pepper is rated at 15,000 SHU, it took
15,000 additions of sugar water for the taster to no longer feel the burn. Carolina
Reaper Peppers are the hottest known at a whopping 1.4 to 2.2 Million SHU's.
