The spiciness of a chili pepper can vary widely depending on the specific variety of pepper. The heat level of chili peppers is measured on the Scoville scale, which quantifies the amount of capsaicin, the compound responsible for the peppers' heat. Different types of chili peppers have different levels of capsaicin, resulting in a wide range of spiciness.

Making homemade cayenne powder is easy, but should always be done in a well-ventilated space, or ideally outdoors! We make tons of our own homemade cayenne powder every year, as it is a simple way to add heat to our cooking.

You deserve the best, so take some time to think about how a hot sauce is made and what kind of ingredients it contains before you dive in mouth-first. Some hot sauces are all-natural, while others contain all kinds of artificial flavors and additives. We believe that fresh always tastes better, so we recommend choosing the most natural hot sauce you can find. Also, keep in mind that some recipes contain ingredients like sugar, sodium, oils, or even animal by-products, so if you have a specialized diet take a careful look at the ingredient list and nutrition information before taking that first bite.
