Question: are hungarian wax peppers spicy?
Answer: Hungarian Wax Peppers run between 1,000 and 15,000 Scoville Heat Units. That's a pretty large range. On the low end, the pepper might be as hot as a mild poblano, but on the higher end, nearly twice as hot as the hottest jalapeno pepper. As a reference point, the bell pepper has no heat at all with 0 Scoville Units.
