Scoville units

A chemist named Wilbur scoville developed a scale to answer this very question in 1912. His system measures that heat factor of chili peppers is multiples of 100 "scoville units", as rated by human tasters with iron toungues! The higher the rating, the hotter pepper. Here's a peppering  of peppers from all parts of the scoville scale spectrum....
