Serrano Peppers

Serrano Peppers

EverydayFresh

Serrano peppers are a medium-heat chili pepper native to Mexico, typically measuring 10,000–25,000 Scoville Heat Units – about 5–10 times hotter than jalapeños. These slender, 1–4 inch peppers transition from green to red when fully ripe and are valued both for their crisp texture and their concentration of vitamin C and metabolism-boosting capsaicin. Commonly used fresh in salsas, pickled preparations, or cooked into stews, they provide bright heat without overwhelming spice when seeded.
