Where can I find a list of least to most spicy peppers commonly found in grocery stores?!
Answers:
In general, the larger chilis are mildest, and they get progressively hotter as they get smaller. So green bell peppers have almost no heat at all, and the tiny Asian varieties will make steam come out of your ears (which I love, incidentally).
Also, peppers tend to be milder before they are fully ripened, so green peppers will be milder than the red ones of the same variety.
Here is a link to a chart on Wikipedia, listing the relative heat contained in chili peppers measured by Scoville Units.

I also love Texas, incidentally! Congratulations on living there!
