Want some warm brownies use Habs or thai dragons or even better Aji Habs L.B. Jalapeno brownies will warm you up By J.M. Hirsch Associated Press January 30, 2004 CONCORD, N.H. -- Perhaps it's because I'm from the Northeast, but I'm just not accustomed to food causing pain, at least not intentionally so. Nor to it carrying dire warning labels. That's probably why I recently was mystified by a spice catalog that included a "USE WITH CAUTION" alert in the description of a particular dried chili pepper. Seems to me that food requiring such warnings might not be fit for consumption. Below the ominous description was a chart listing various peppers and their corresponding heat ratings, or Scoville units (named for Wilbur Scoville, a chemist who around 1912 developed a method for testing chili pepper heat). According to the chart, common bell peppers rate zero Scoville units. Crushed red pepper flakes (with which my liberal hand has ruined more than one dinner) rate 15,000 units. Jalapenos clock in at 55,000 units.
