Scoville scale

[AlexH 0]

I found this "periodic table" of different peppers on the internet (from "The Scoville Food Institute")....

 

It made me think that perhaps the scoville scale is in some way exponential:

 

There are 23 varieties listed with SHU <10,000;

another 16 varieties <100,000;

and then only 13 up to 1,000,000;

and only 1 over!!

 

Do you think there is a scientific/biological reason for this distribution??

I don't know but.... think:

 

-Insects are billions & billions... why? Because they are small & weak

 

/ low peppers are so much because we need a lot of them to have "power"

 

-whales are few: they are very big and hard / Hot peppers are few but one is enough....

 

It's Mother Nature!

 

(can you understand what i would like to mean?.......)

I'm building a website focusing on the scoville scale and growing chillies. thanks for the chart, i haven't seen anything like it in my studies.
