The Scoville scale is a measurement of pungency (spiciness or "heat") of chili peppers and other substances, recorded in Scoville heat units (SHU). It is based on the concentration of capsaicinoids , among which capsaicin is the predominant component.
heat = Medium or heat = medium: in terms of chilli peppers, this would suit a Scoville rating between 4,000-9,999. heat = Hot or heat = hot: in terms of chilli peppers, this would suit a Scoville rating between 9,999-49,999. heat = Very Hot or heat = very hot: in terms of chilli peppers, this would suit a Scoville rating between 50,000-599,999.
