In the world of peppers, the heat of a pepper is measured based on the Scoville scale. The more Scoville heat units (SHU) that a pepper has, the spicier it is. For example, the bell pepper has zero SHU, while jalapeño and chipotle peppers measure 10,000 SHU each.
The ghost chili pepper measures a whopping 1,041,427 SHU! Individual ghost peppers may measure more or less SHU, but this is the widely accepted average. It was the very first pepper to measure over a million SHU.
