Green scovile rating: 600 – 1200 Regular: 2500 – 5000 Haberno: >7000 Per their site.
I tried all of them with the same food, chicken nuggets.
I tried each on a different day, first I tried the regular and it felt too spicy for me and I was unable to taste much aside from alot of heat, didn't like it.
Next day I tried the green that was suppose to be very mild but this one also felt quite spicy for me and not very enjoyable so I thought hot sauces weren't for me.
I said fuck it and tried the haberno anyway even though it had 7k rating and was suppose to be alot more spicy than the previous I thought it was going to be painful but I found out I really enjoyed the taste and I could tolerate the heat too, I poured a nice amount not like a little drop.
How come the 7k scovile rating I like and isn't too spicy for me but the 2.5k-5000 and 600-1200 were too hot for me? Now I'm very confused.
