Product Overview
Grow your own Serrano Peppers (Capsicum annuum), a popular heirloom chili known for its crisp texture, bold flavor, and medium-high heat. These slender peppers, measuring 2-3 inches, ripen from green to red and offer a zesty, slightly citrusy heat that is hotter than jalapeños but milder than cayenne peppers. Ideal for salsas, hot sauces, pickling, grilling, and fresh use, Serrano peppers bring vibrant spice to your kitchen.
