Pepper 'Serrano'
- Product number: 209390
- Origin: Mexico
- Latin: Capsicum annuum
The origin of these 6 cm long chili peppers lies in the fertile regions in and around Puebla and Hidalgo in Mexico. They are very popular there in salsa, not least because they are 3 times hotter than the well-known Jalapeño and Fresno (10,000-22,000 on the Scoville scale). Their colour changes from green to red. True chili enthusiasts can enjoy them raw: crunchy and bright in flavour.
