The Scoville Heat Scale for Chilli Peppers and Hot Sauces
Generally these peppers range from 350,000–570,000 Scoville Units as compared with a score of 2,500–5,000 for the jalapeno pepper. The record breaking pepper was produced by GNS Spices Inc in 1994 in Walnut, US and measured at 577,000 Scoville units. Recently however several superhot peppers have challenged for the record.
