Chiles are rated by Scoville Units, which is a measurement of capsaicin levels (the oil that makes Chiles hot). Although Chiles can vary from pod to pod and plant to plant, the wide variety of Chiles can be measured on this scale below:

1= 0 units
2=500 to 1,000 units
3=1000 to 1,500 units
4=1,500 to 2,500 units
5=2,500 to 5,000 units
6=5,000 to 15,000 units
7=15,000 to 30,000 units
8=30,000 to 50,000 units
9=50,000 to 100,000 units
10=100,000 to 300,000 units

You'll notice in our catalog we mark each of our products with a small pepper emblazoned with the words meltdown, fiery, snappy, or wimpy. You can find out what products fit into what taste category simply by clicking on the hot gauge in the desired area.
