Serrano pepper is another of the classic hot peppers and one of the most commonly used for cooking. The Serrano provides a medium-hot taste, and is typically not over-powering to most palates.

The pods of the Serrano can be eaten in either their green or red form. An excellent traditional style Serrano, this pepper has five times the heat of a jalapeno! Peppers change from green to bright red and are very hot during both stages.

Best used fresh in salsas, sauces, soups and stews.
