Hungarian Wax Pepper Guide: Heat, Flavor, Uses – PepperScale
5,000 to 10,000 Scoville
It may look like a mild banana pepper, but really the Hungarian wax pepper (a.k.a. hot wax pepper or the hot yellow pepper) has a lot more bite. In terms of spiciness, it’s a medium-heat pepper (5,000 to 10,000 Scoville heat units), more akin to a jalapeño, with a chance for even a bit more heat.
