The spiciness of Peppers is measured in Scoville Heat Units. No detection of spiciness in water is 0 units. Detection is 1 unit. A pepper is dissolved in a cup of water and diluted with another cup of water, tasted, diluted and tasted again, and again till there is no more spiciness. The heat units are doubled every time there is a dilution, so 4096 heat units is 11 dilutions.

This peppersauce is made the same way. The sauce base has 0 units heat. You then crush one dried red thai pepper, mix it with the base, and taste a drop. Then another pepper, taste another drop, and another, till you have the perfect taste.

Sriracha is about 5,000 SHU. 25 grams of dried thai peppers diluted nine times with 475 grams of base will make store bought Sriraca strength.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
