FAQ Frequently Asked Questions
What does 40,000 SCU mean?
SCU stands for Scoville Heat Units, which is the international measuring scale for how hot a chili is. 40,000 SCU is considered a solid, medium to high heat. It delivers a clear, burning kick, but is not as extreme as, for example, a Habanero or Carolina Reaper.
Can I substitute regular chili powder with cayenne pepper?
Yes, but be very careful! Cayenne pepper is often significantly hotter and purer in heat than standard chili powder blends from the grocery store (which are often diluted with cumin, garlic, and oregano). Always reduce the amount considerably when replacing chili powder with cayenne pepper, and taste as you go.
