About This Recipe
The alkaloids that give peppers their heat are capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin. The level of spiciness is determined by the concentration of capsaicin, the compound responsible for the burning sensation. Excessive consumption of hot peppers can cause irritation in the stomach and intestines. The heat level of spicy peppers is measured using a scale called the Scoville scale.
Scoville Scale: The unit of measurement for pepper heat. It was developed in 1912 by Wilbur Scoville. The measurement method involves diluting a small amount of pepper with sugar water until a panel of tasters can no longer detect any heat, at which point the ratio of sugar water to pepper is measured.
Additional Info: The world's hottest pepper is the Carolina Reaper, with a heat measurement of 2,200,000 SHU.
