The Hot Chile Peppers for Hot Sauces

There are countless varieties of Latin American Chiles. Capsaicin is the compound in chiles and hot peppers that make them hot. Chile heat is measured in Scoville units, which is the amount of water and time it takes to neutralize chile heat after ingestion.

Since many don’t agree on the measurements for each chile, we will use a rating from 1 to 10 from now on, with 10 being the hottest.

Dried chilies, pickled chiles, chile hot sauces, and even fresh chiles can be ordered online. Or consider growing your own. Chile seeds may be available at garden shops and are available online.
