General FAQs
Raw peppers are usually spicier, although this isn’t always the case. The spiciest sauces often lack flavour, consisting mainly of extracts to maximize capsaicin levels.
The Scoville scale measures the level of pungency or heat of a pepper based on the levels of capsaicin in a pepper.
The tastiest hot sauces in the world would have to be a tie between The Carolina Reaper Hot Pepper Sauce and Melinda’s Red Savina Pepper Hot Sauce.
