The heat of a pepper is
commonly measured in what are known as
Scoville Units, named after Wilbur Scoville, who devised the test
and scale in 1912 while working as a chemist at Parke-Davis
pharmaceutical. The test measures the piquancy, or "hotness" of chile
peppers.
So how hot are Habanero peppers? According to the Scoville scale, they
rank as some of the hottest in the world, somewhere between 100,000 to
350,000 units. In contrast, a bell pepper ranks 0 on the rating,
jalapeņo peppers rank around 2,500 to 8000 and standard US grade pepper
spray ranks at 2 to five MILLION units.
Why tell you this? Because we want you to know that we have a different
philosophy when it comes to producing our hot sauce. We are well aware
that there are people out there that seek out the extreme pain of hot
sauces that rank upwards of a million on the scale, but seriously, who
really enjoys a small thermonuclear detonation going off in their mouth,
or swallowing a solar flare? Unless of course you are one of those
people described above.. but in our book, that borders slightly on the
insane, and probably close to masochism. Not that there is anything
especially wrong with having a psychiatric disorder.......
On the contrary, we are all about the taste, flavor and enjoyment that
is produced when you ingest our special formula. Is it hot? Yes. Can
you drink it straight out of the bottle? Probably, but not
recommended. Can you use and enjoy the great taste and flavor in
just about any food you can imagine? Absolutely! ( Please see our
recipe
section. )
We grow our own peppers. We use fresh ingredients. We handcraft the
product. As such, there are slight natural variations from batch to
batch, unlike the mass produced, "generic" sauces you find on the shelf
at your local food stop. We believe this variation adds to our
uniqueness, and why you should really, really try this hot sauce.
Huffin-n-Puffin Habanero Hot Sauce. Made with vinegar, carrots, sugar,
spices and the love of a sick mind. Oh yeah, and Habanero Peppers!
