  • The Mexico-originating serrano pepper is a variation of the chili pepper with a slightly spicier flavor than that of wasabi, making it an excellent substitute for individuals who desire a slightly hotter alternative to the pungent root paste. (domeats.com)
  • Environmental factors and the circumstance of cultivation influence capsaicinoid content of the pods [ 6 , 7 ], while probably a higher impact on pungency by the genotype is present [ 8 , 9 ]. (hindawi.com)
  • Pertaining to wasabi, however, the Scoville scale cannot measure the pungency of this particular root, owing to the fact that wasabi does not possess any capsaicinoids, and as such is not measurable by this method. (domeats.com)
