Which brings me to pequin peppers. My grandma brings us pequin peppers from the Sierra of Chihuahua, and they're really spicy. They are tiny , but just one will make you food spicy enough (sometimes more than enough). They have a rating of 30,000-60,000 units in the Scoville scale, which is a scale that measures the spicy heat of a chili pepper according to its capsaicin content.

Pequin Peppers
Today during Lab we "dissected" peppers and we got to see what makes them spicy: capsaicin. We also learned that the smaller the pepper, the higher concentration of capsaicin it will have.
