PEPPADEW Sweet Piquanté Peppers Mild variants have a capsaicin (Scoville Heat Unit) of 280, with total capsaicinoids (Scoville Heat Units) of < 650. For this reason, these peppers may be said to be complemented with a mild heat, but are not considered hot peppers. The unique manufacturing process is what enables Peppadew International to retain the firm and crunchy texture of the pepper without any added preservatives, which would result in a noticeable aftertaste. The best way to describe PEPPADEW Sweet Piquanté Peppers is the perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavours.
