Pepper Heat Levels
I am helping another site improve their pepper descriptions. So that users can narrow down searches we want to assign varieties to a reasonable number of heat levels. One suggestion was (with approximate Scoville ratings)
Sweet (<100 SHU)
Mild (100 - 2500 SHU)
Medium Hot (2500-50,000 SHU)
Hot (50,000 - 500,000 SHU)
Ultra Hot (500,000+ SHU)
I found a dozen or so such ratings on the web, all different, but two are close to the above list except for setting the Hot levels at 30,000 - 350,000 SHU.
Are these reasonable choices? Suggestions welcome.
