Spicy Beef Jerky

Savage Jerky Scoville Ratings

The Scoville scale rates peppers based on their hotness using a Scoville heat unit (SHU), which varies based on not only the peppers themselves but also how they are prepared. When seeds and capsaicin (the inner tissue of a pepper) are removed or diluted, they tend to lose some of their pungency.

Jalapeno SHU

Jalapeno peppers tend to be milder than habaneros, but again it’s all about the way the peppers are processed and diluted. On the Scoville scale, jalapenos varieties of chili peppers range from 2,500 to 40,000 SHU.

Red chili pepper SHU
