If all these questions are hammering your mind, you’ve come to the right place. Here we discuss some of the best substitutes you can use in case you run out of sriracha sauce or just want to try out a slightly different style of cooking.

New Mexico University points out that the Scoville scale is a subjective spiciness scale and some people can be more sensitive to capsaicin than others.
Paprika is a fiery flavouring that for many, is just as essential to your kitchen as salt and pepper. It’s a spice rack staple, ground from a variety of dried red peppers in the Capsicum annuum family, including red, bell, cayenne and chilli peppers. This vibrant red spice ranges in flavour from mild and slightly sweet to hot and spicy, and its main use is to add flavour and colour to dishes, rather than heat.
When you slice a bell pepper in half it will look exactly like any spicy chile pepper. There is a placenta covered with seeds, there are veins running along the flesh of the bell pepper. They are pretty much identical with the main exception being the difference in size. Bell peppers have a fruity scent, just like many hot chilies. Both have a crispness to their flesh and also high water content. You can slice, sauté, grill, char, pickle, stuff, or eat bell peppers just like you would any kind of spicy chilies. But when it comes to bell peppers you'll never have to wear gloves to protect your skin from a chili burn, and you'll never have to reach for a drink to calm the fiery heat after eating bell peppers.
