Popular in Mexico, serrano peppers are slowly making their way into more American cuisine. Immature serranos are green and mature to a deep red, about three inches long and 1/2 inch around.

Serrano peppers are very similar looking to jalapenos but are 4 to 5 times hotter, coming in at 10,000 to 20,000 Scoville heat units, compared to 5,000 to 8,000 for the jalapeno pepper.

Serrano peppers are very common in guacamole and many salsas. Learn more about this versatile pepper to create many dishes that your friends will love.
