About the calculator
How does the Scoville comparison work?
It divides the typical Scoville figure of one pepper by the other. The Scoville scale is linear, so a pepper at 1,000,000 SHU is twice as hot as one at 500,000 SHU.
Why might a real pepper feel different?
Heat varies between plants and even pods on the same plant, and with growing conditions. The tool uses typical values, so treat the result as a guide.
Which peppers are included?
All 29 peppers with a usable typical figure from our dataset. Peppers with no lab test, like Apollo, are left out.
