The Hot Sauces and Hot Peppers Page

The Hot Sauces and Hot Peppers Page is a list of various very hot sauces and hottest peppers sites that I have come across on the Web. If you are new to hot sauces maybe this page can help you get started with chile varieties like annum, baccatum, chinense, frutescens and pubescens.

Some sauces are rated in Scoville Units (SU). The red savina habanero pepper (which is the hottest pepper in the world) is rated at 577,000 SU. In comparison, a jalapeno pepper is about 4,000 SU and a typical habanero pepper is about 200,000 SU.
