These non-GMO, heirloom seeds produce prolific plants bearing medium-sized peppers that mature from dark green to vibrant red — harvest green for sharp, bright heat or red for a slightly sweeter, deeper flavor. Serrano peppers deliver the signature sharp bite and fruity undertones essential for traditional salsas, hot sauces, and Mexican cuisine, while their thin walls make them ideal for fresh use and quick cooking.
