Tabasco Sauce - Spiciness

Spiciness

The original red variety of Tabasco pepper sauce measures 2,500–5,000 SHU on the Scoville scale. The habanero sauce is considerably hotter, rating 7,000–12,000 Scoville units. The chipotle sauce adds chipotle pepper to the original sauce, measuring 2,000–2,500. The garlic variety, which blends milder peppers in with the tabasco peppers, rates 1,200–1,800 Scovilles, and the green pepper (jalapeño) sauce is even milder at 600–800 Scovilles. The Sweet and Spicy sauce is the mildest at only 100-600 Scoville units.
