The Storm Is Here (5,000–25,000 SHU)
Scoville Heat Units (SHU) measure the concentration of capsaicin, the chemical responsible for chili pepper heat. Our EF scale maps these scientific measurements to real-world storm intensity.

The Heat
The storm is here — tropical sweetness chased by real heat
Key Ingredients
- habanero peppers
- tropical mango
The Story
A sudden, violent shift in the atmosphere. Most habanero-mango salsas blend the two flavors into a single, predictable note. Squall Line sequences them — you taste the golden, ripe mango first, sweet and tropical and disarming. Then the habanero arrives, direct and inescapable, and the sweetness becomes reprieve instead of flavor. It is a high-contrast collision: two weather systems occupying the same bite, refusing to cancel each other out. 5,000 to 25,000 SHU. The storm is here.
