Description
The Chilli Sundew does not appear to be a commonly documented variety in terms of its Scoville Heat Units (SHU). However, based on the available data for similarly named or less common peppers, it’s possible to provide a general understanding.
Chili peppers can vary widely in heat, from mild to extremely hot. For context, here are the heat levels of some well-known peppers:
- Jalapeño: 2,500 – 8,000 SHU
- Serrano: 10,000 – 25,000 SHU
- Cayenne: 30,000 – 50,000 SHU
- Habanero: 100,000 – 350,000 SHU
- Ghost Pepper (Bhut Jolokia): 855,000 – 1,041,427 SHU
- Carolina Reaper: 1,400,000 – 2,200,000 SHU
Without specific data on the Chilli Sundew, it is difficult to pinpoint its exact heat level. If you are handling or consuming a chili with an unknown heat level, it’s wise to start with a small amount to gauge its spiciness.
