At MAHI, we think heat and flavor go hand in hand. Knowing the difference between mild and medium heat levels is crucial to attaining the ideal flavor for your food, regardless of whether you're a spice seeker or like to keep things moderate. We frequently hear the question, "Is medium salsa hotter than mild?" Let's finally get rid of the heat.

1. The Mild vs. Medium Heat Scale

Heat levels in salsas, sauces and marinades are often classified as mild, medium, hot and occasionally extra hot.

• On the scale, mild is the gentlest. It has little to no burn and a warm flavor.
• As the name implies, medium is in the middle of hot and moderate. It maintains a full-bodied flavor while adding more apparent spiciness.

2. A medium salsa is therefore hotter than a mild one.
