SHU 1000-8000. Gluten-Free, 100% pure, no additives. Premium quality Hatch peppers can range on the Scoville Scale from 1000 to 8000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU) which is considered a mild chili pepper. However, some can be much hotter. For comparison, jalapeños are usually between 2500 and 8000 SHU. So they are pretty similar in heat, but the average Hatch chile is milder than the average jalapeño. These peppers are the perfect addition to a wide variety of recipes. They are popular in soups, stews, and sauces. They are an excellent alternative to red pepper flakes on pizza and pasta. Dips like queso, hummus, and, of course, salsa can benefit from the mild pungency and versatility of our Hatch green chile flakes.
