Question: are hungarian yellow wax peppers hot?
Answer: Heat rating in Scovilles: The Hungarian Wax pepper has a wide scoville scale range of 1,500 to 15,000 Scoville units, so you never know just how hot they may be. In this last batch I bought, one was hotter than a jalapeño, the others much milder. This pepper is usually harvested before maturity when still yellow.
