The Scoville unit is the measurement of hotness of a chile pepper. Anyone who has made chili will know the wide and wild varieties of chiles and other ingredients that can be used in the dish. The chemistry of common ingredients will be discussed as well as indigenous varieties of the main course. Participants will be required to build a chili that will be part a tasting the last day of the activity.
