Seven-Star vs Sanying vs Zidantou

Sanying (Tianying) and Zidantou are the classic hot-sauce varieties at 20,000–50,000 SHU; Seven-Star is common in snack seasoning and hot-pot bases. Heat, colour and flavour vary independently, so name the variety and a precise SHU window — the variety name is what locks batch-to-batch consistency.
