misleading for bell peppers honestly.

Are bell peppers considered spicy?
The bell pepper is the only member of the genus Capsicum that does not produce capsaicin, a lipophilic chemical that can cause a strong burning sensation when it comes in contact with mucous membranes. They are thus scored in the lowest level of the Scoville scale, meaning that they are not spicy.

I've never eaten a pepper I found too spicy, but I really like intense heat sometimes. I'll say this though, I find tolerance changes quite drastically over time depending how much you eat. Like these reapers which I am painstakingly waiting to ripen. Because I haven't had any since last year, the first few will completely blow my socks off. But as the weeks go on eating them it will get to the point where I have a couple as side veggies with a meal and they'll still be very spicy but nothing like they were. Then as the season ends, I run out and finish off the hot sauces from them tolerance will drop again till cayennes and jalapenos taste fairly spicy.

>The highest you will go
not very high, higher than most people but when it's all pain and it overrides the flavor and lasts for minutes, I'm not enjoying it at all

Not much ripe today, except these copay cabai peppers. Really good, really long, medium spicy, heavy producer.

Scovilles arent real right? Just some dumb scam measurement that some dude tricked everyone into using?

I've tried a scorpion pepper raw. It was weirdly not hot in my mouth, even though I chewed and such. When I swallowed, though, it turned into a fireball. My body just noped out and I laid down for about thirty minutes, whereupon I puked up lava.

Right now I'm jiving with Melinda's bhut jolokia sauce, solidly hot without being overwhelming

Hottest I ever tried was a mystery pepper that I think was Chiltepin with a dark color.
Touched it to my tongue right off the plant because I had never seen tiny round chili peppers like that and I thought it would be mild.
Torturously hot. Much worse than habanero.

Not going that high ever again.
Normal orange habaneros is my limit for "bro let's eat this for fun to show how badass we are".
Chipotles in adobo is my limit for cooking actual food.
