Scoville Scale Chart for Hot Sauce and Hot Peppers
The original and best Scoville Scale Chart on the web -
Updated for 2021!
Updated for 2021!
Since 2006, I've been compiling the most comprehensive list of the hottest hot sauces and hot peppers on the web. Although other websites in recent years have stolen the data here and have sprung up on the web to make a quick dollar, I will choose to make this Scoville Scale List of Chile Peppers And Hot Sauces advertisement-free.
Some of the sauce items (especially the ones in excess of one million Scoville Heat Units and hotter) below may not necessarily be "sauces" you apply directly on food - they are food additives made with a liquid chile ppeper extract and should only be used sparingly. The very highest ones are not liquid at all. These capsaicin extracts are powders or crystals, as pure capsaicin comes in crystaline form.
For more information on how the Scoville Scale for hot peppers and hot sauces is determined, read the What is the Scoville Scale article.
Chile Peppers
| Name | Scoville Heat Units |
|---|---|
Pepper X Species: capsicum chinense Pepper X is a cultivar of Capsicum chili pepper bred by Ed Currie, creator of the Carolina Reaper. Pepper X resulted from multiple cross breedings that produced an exceptionally high content of capsaicin in the locules of the pepper. The exceptional heat of the chili was developed over 10 years of cultivation. Currie stated that it is "two times as hot as the Carolina Reaper", which would make it the hottest pepper in the world with a Scoville scale of 3.18 million units, but this remained unconfirmed by the Guinness World Records as of 2019. Type: chile pepper | UNOFFICIAL 3,180,000 Scoville Heat Units [SHU] 636 times hotter than a jalapeño |
Smokin' Ed's Carolina Reaper Pepper Species: capsicum chinense As of 2014, this is currently the Guinness World Record holder for World's Hottest Chile, the Carolina Reaper pepper was grown by Ed Currie of Puckerbutt Pepper Company out of South Carolina. Also known as the HB22a. In 2018, Guinness World Records re-certified the Carolina Pepper again at 1,641,000 SHU for the average amount of heat per pepper pod.

Type: chile pepper | 580,198 - 2,009,231 Scoville Heat Units [SHU] 401.8 times hotter than a jalapeño |
7-Pot Douglah Species: capsicum chinense A version of the super-hot 7-Pot, 7 Pot Douglah, or Chocolate 7 Pod. Super-intense chile pepper that ranks up with the hottest, including the Carolina Reaper, Moruga Scorpion, Trinidad Scorpion Butch T, and the Bhut/Naga jolokia Type: chile pepper | 923,589 - 1,853,936 Scoville Heat Units [SHU] 370.79 times hotter than a jalapeño |
Trinidad 7 Pot Primo Species: capsicum chinense Grown by Troy Primeaux (nicknamed "Primo"), these are a cross between Naga Morich and 7 Pot chiles.

The pods often look similar to a mushroom cloud or a jellyfish with slight habanero/scotch bonnet-like characteristics, and have a slightly bumpy appearance.

Pure Capsaicin Capsaicin (8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide) is an active component of chile peppers, which are plants belonging to the genus capsicum. It is an irritant for mammals, including humans, and produces a sensation of burning in any tissue with which it comes into contact. The amount of capsaicin present in food is measured using what is called the Scoville Heat Scale. While the upper end of capsaicin found in chile pepper pods reach as high as a couple of million Scoville Heat Unites (SHU), pure capsaicin reaches the top of the scale at 16 million SHU. Pure capsaicin is found in a white crystalline powder (see photo). Type: extract | 16,000,000 Scoville Heat Units [SHU] 3200 times hotter than a jalapeño |

Del Taco had estimated that the Del Inferno was (at the time it debuted in 2008) three times as hot as any competitor's sauces. If the hottest sauce Taco Bell had at the time, Fire Sauce, was used for comparative analysis, then Del Inferno would be around 1,500 SHU. This number is just an estimate. Ancho chile peppers were used as the base flavor/heat. Type: sauce | 1,500 Scoville Heat Units [SHU] Only 30% the heat of a jalapeño |

Ott's Wing Sauce Everybody loves Ott's Wing Sauce. Great for marinades and cooking flavoring too. Thumbs up! This is my favorite mild buffalo/wing/hot sauce in the world. It has a creamy, robust, spicy flavor that's unsurpassed. I got hooked on this in the 1990's when Denny's restaurants used to put this sauce on their buffalo chicken strips (sadly, they now use a redder, weaker wing sauce). I've received word from Ott's that this sauce rates at 727 Scoville Heat Units. It tastes much hotter in my opinion, but it's still mild enough for most people to enjoy. If you live in the midwest U.S. and see this in your local store, pick up a bottle. If not, you can order a bottle from Ott's Web site linked below. You will not be disappointed!

Iguana Cayenne Red Pepper Sauce From Costa Rica, this sauce has a precarious history. Something about a monkey, a sackful of chilies and a large green iguana. The manufacturers say "ya had to be there!" Anyhow, the name Iguana doesn't aptly describe this tasty blend of cayenne peppers, carrots, tomato paste and molasses. A light sweetness and a medium burn make it a great sauce for adventurous dining Type: sauce | 430 Scoville Heat Units [SHU] Only 9% the heat of a jalapeño |
Please keep in mind that the Scoville heat units listed are just estimates at best. Scoville units for each sauce or chile pepper may vary greatly due to the seed lineage, season, climate, soil, and other conditions in which the peppers and ingredients are grown.
Comparisons in this Scoville Scale chart to jalapeño peppers are based on an "average" of 5,000 SHU for the jalapeño, and the high end SHU for the sauce or pepper in question.
Big thanks and credits go to Chez Williams, ChilliWorld and SweatNSpice.com for help with the original numbers, and Jim Duffy's Refining Fire Chiles and Michael Hultquist's Chili Pepper Madness for many of the photos of the chile peppers. You guys rock!
