Geocache Description:

THERE IS NO CONTAINER AT THE LISTED COORDINATES


A common attribute of hot peppers is their piquancy or "hotness." These units of heat, known as Scoville Heat Units (SHU) are measured by the Scoville Scale. Developed by American Pharmacist, Wilbur Scoville in 1912, the original "Scoville Organoleptic Test" involved the detection of various levels of Capsaicin by the pallets of five taste testers.

Nowadays, Scoville Heat Units are determined through the use of High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)in a laboratory setting. With current world records topping the charts at over 1.4 Million SHUs, you need to like it HOT!!!

To solve this puzzle, you will need to identify several varieties of hot peppers and determine which is hottest.
