Cited Scoville ranges, not our lab test. UF/IFAS Peppers: milder peppers such as Anaheims or jalapenos rank 1,000 to 10,000 Scoville units; cayenne or habanero can check in at 50,000 or 250,000. Penn State groups commercial heat as mild through extremely hot and publishes cultivar ranges (jalapeño 2,500 to 10,000; habanero 100,000 to 350,000). Ask IFAS TR010: jalapeño about 2,000 to 8,000; habanero 100,000 to 350,000; cayenne 25,000 to 50,000. Heat is a range and varies by fruit.
