It doesn't work for other spicy things like e.g. pepper and it doesn't work for prepared dishes either. So you can say "This dish contains chilli peppers with X scoville", but since the amount of chilli in there also matters, that's only part of the equation. For example, a single drop of 100 000 scoville chilli pepper on a whole plate of otherwise non-spicy food might be less spicy than e.g. a dish consisting almost entirely of 30 000 scoville chilli peppers. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] cassandrafatigue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 10 months ago There's math to be done here. permalink fedilink source parent
