Some have described the flavour as “spot on”, others have said they “f***ing love it.” It’s got a warm, smoky taste and just the right level of kick
Official Huel Chilli Scale
Tomato & Herb - 0
TGC -
Mexican -
Mexican Chilli is packed with brown rice, quinoa, tomato, peppers, onion, black eyed beans, coriander, chipotle chilli flakes and of course all the nutrition you expect from us - 26 essential vitamins & minerals, 24g plant-based protein and high in fibre. Many of us at HQ are saying it’s our favourite flavour yet.
You can pick up all three flavours, or add a single pouch to an existing order or subscription.
Well that’s quite a disappointment. 2 out of 3 are chilli . Many people don’t like or eat chilli and basically they only have one option available. Hopefully new non-chilli options will be offered.
I used to eat Thai Curry for years but had never had an Indian Curry. Vey different things.
If you don’t like spice that’s fair enough, for decades I didn’t think I liked spice either, but there are vast chasms between types of spices, and the difference between a curry of any kind and a chilli of any kind is huge.
I love spices, what I don’t like it’s spicy food. The scale (even mentioned in the first post, also known as Scoville scale) is about how spicy something is, which is related to the concentration of capsaicinoids, but has nothing to do with spices in general (things like cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg or saffron).
A huge amount of people don’t like or eat spicy food (food that has a rating different than 0 or close to 0 in the Scoville scale), so I suggest Huel releases something also for these people.
I have no doubt they will, bear in mind this is just the third flavour of a new product.
We have had loads of discussions about flavours here, hell I myself started a topic dedicated purely to that. I think a mushroom risotto was one of the big winners.
Give feedback constructively though! I honestly think (and it’s rare I would say this) that Huel actually take account of what their customers are saying.
I didn’t mean to give non constructive feedback. I’m more than happy for people who like chilly that they released this new flavour, the disappointment is that at the moment there are two flavours with chilly and only one without, so I hope they do as you say and release new non-chilly flavours soon.
Having sampled that Huel Thai Curry for a couple of dinners now, I doubt very seriously it rates anywhere significant on the Scoville heat scale. I could test it of course, but it would hit maybe 300 in my estimation, on the absolute high end. Most products sold to the wide general public that are supposedly “spicy” are like this. Going too hot would severely limit their appeal. My fiance is one of those people that thinks ketchup is spicy, and she tried a bite of mine and had no reaction whatsoever.
I ordered some to try.
