Serrano Pepper

Serrano pepper is a small, slender chile with smooth, glossy skin that ripens from green to red. It delivers a bright, grassy heat hotter than jalapeño and keeps its structure when sliced or minced. Sold mostly fresh in green stage, occasionally red when fully ripe.\n\nNative to the mountainous regions of Puebla and Hidalgo in Mexico, it became a staple of Mexican salsas and table condiments and spread throughout North America via Mexican cultivation; it now grows widely in warm climates and greenhouses.
