  Quroot is a dairy product made with dehydrated plain yogurt that is combined with salt and typically shaped into small balls. Natural plain yogurt is added to a cheesecloth or muslin, then the liquid is squeezed out, and the resulting curd is allowed to drain for a few days until it dries out completely and becomes thick. The ancient form of kashk is a porridge of grains fermented with whey and dried in the sun. The long shelf-life and nutritional value of kashk made it a useful item for peasants during the winter months, as well as soldiers and travelers.

The Scoville scale and the heat meter list numerous chili pepper varieties sorted by their pungency and their capsaicin content in Scoville Heat Units (SHU). We have a simple scoville scale image and a detailed searchable and interactive html5 scoville scale table. The Scoville scale invented by the American pharmacologist 1912 Wilbur Scoville. It serves to determine the degree of pungency of fruits of the genus Capsicum, which includes peppers and chilis. The Scoville scale was originally based on the so-called Scoville Organoleptic Test developed by Wilbur Scoville. Here, a sample of chili was prepared and repeatedly diluted with water until the test subjects no longer felt any heat. The degree to which the subjects could (subjectively) taste no more heat in the sample was called SHU (Scoville Heat Units). Of course, no subjective tests will be carried out today.
