The Scoville scale measures how much sugar must be added to equal parts ground-up pepper before you stop feeling a hot sensation on your tongue. Since the scale&#8217;s conception, the strength of peppers has been noted in Scoville heat units, which are measured in the thousands. A mild pepper being is around 5,000 units; the super-hot habanero is in the 50,000 range. <a href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\/2016\/01\/22\/google-doodle-peppers-wilbur-scoville\/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&amp;utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial\">Read more&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>More about <a href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\/category\/google-doodle\/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&amp;utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial\">Google Doodle<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\/apps-software\/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&amp;utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial\">Apps Software<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\/lifestyle\/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&amp;utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial\">Lifestyle<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\/category\/hot-pepper\/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&amp;utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial\">Hot Pepper<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\/category\/wilbur-scoville\/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&amp;utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial\">Wilbur Scoville<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/Mashable\/~4\/BbzICME8QcA\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Trinidad moruga scorpion is recognized as the hottest chili pepper on the planet \u2014 but it\u2019s unlikely we could all agree on the hotness of any pepper without Wilbur Scoville.
