Spiciness is Pain

Capsaicin is the molecule in chili peppers that is responsible for making it spicy. We react with lots of waterworks because capsaicin actually binds to our pain and heat receptors. As humans, we need to quantify how hot something is, otherwise how would our friends know the strength of our palates, right? The Scoville scale is used to measure the concentration of capsaicin and other capsaicinoids. The higher the Scoville units, the spicier the pepper. If you’re a lover of spice, then you’ll love our capsaicin molecule necklace. It also makes a great gift for hot wing lovers, ghost pepper growers, hot sauce consumers, and anyone who loves a bit of spice in their life.
