A graphic of a chili pepper is used to demonstrate the heat levels of the Scoville scale, using Scoville units. The chart includes ratings for Pepper X, Bhut Jolokia / Ghost Pepper, Habaneros, Thai Chili Peppers, Cayenne, and more.

The Scoville Scale

Used to measure the heat levels in chili peppers, the Scoville scale is based off the concentration of capsaicin.

The more capsaicin is present in a pepper, the more intense the burn (measured in Scoville heat units or SHU). Doc and Mrs. Doc make their hot sauces with home-grown peppers ranging across the scale, from the mild jalapeño to the Carolina Reaper! Whatever your preferred burn, we have a sauce for you.
