The Scoville scale measures the spiciness or heat of chili peppers and spicy foods, based on their capsaicin content. The higher the number, the hotter the pepper.

The Scoville scale is used to measure the spiciness or heat of chili peppers, based on the concentration of a chemical compound called capsaicin. It was developed by a pharmacist named Wilbur Scoville in 1912 and is still used today to rank peppers from mild to extremely hot. Therefore, the correct answer is C) to measure pepper heat.

Super, well done and extra credit earned❗‍

Thanks for sharing, Christian❣☘
