How hot do you want to go?
Chilli heat is measured on the Scoville scale. As a rough guide, bell peppers measure zero, Sriracha sauce hits 1,500 to 2,500 Scoville units, Tabasco measures 2,500 to 5,000. Jalapenos score from 2,500 to 8,000 Scovilles. At the other end, Carolina reapers and Trinidad scorpions measure from 1.2 million up to 2 million Scovilles, at least 200 times hotter than Tabasco.
