I am not sure what is the unit for hot chili.Different people use different names like 4 alarm chili or mild, medium and hot.

Answer 2

Spicy Measurement

Answer 3

The "heat" of chile peppers is measured in Scoville units (SHU). Bell peppers rank at 0 (SHU), jalapeños at 3,000–6,000 SHU, and habaneros at 300,000 SHU. The record for the hottest chili pepper is assigned by the Guinness Book of Records to the Red Savina Habanero, measuring 577,000 SHU; however the Dorset Naga pepper is claimed to be over three times as hot as the Red Savina pepper, at 970,000 SHU.

However, a recent report was made of a pepper from India called the Naga Jolokia, measuring at 855,000 SHU. Both the Red Savina and the Naga Jolokia claims are disputed as to their validity, and lack independent verification.[3] In April 2006, it was reported that the Dorset Naga pepper, a variety of the Naga Jolokia pepper cultivated exclusively by the Peppers by Post company in Dorset, England, had been measured at 923,000 SHU by a lab used by the American Spice Trade Association.[4] For reference, pure capsaicin rates at 15,000,000-16,000,000 SHU. Subsequently BBC “Gardeners’ World” has recorded an even higher level for the Dorset Naga. As part of its 2006 programming, it ran a chili trial looking at several varieties. Heat levels were tested in a British laboratory and the Dorset Naga came in at almost 1.6 million SHU. The growers are currently waiting for details of the testing before being confident with this result.

Answer 4

The Naga Chili

Answer 5

chili peppers are rated by heat
the scale is called the Scoville Rating

jalapinos (2,500-10,000) and serrano peppers are hot

Habanero is rediculous (100,000-300,000 scoville units)

the hottest is the Dorset Naga pepper
it is rated at 970,000 scoville units


they also synthisised the essence of heat in the labratory
(pure capsicum)
it is many times stronger!
