The Green Serrano - Vibrant Green Color and Medium to Hot Heat Level

Origin: The Serrano pepper (Capsicum annuum) is believed to have originated in the mountainous regions of Mexico. They are known for their vibrant green color and medium to high heat level. We harvest our peppers when ripe, typically in late summer or early fall. The tradition of fermenting chili peppers goes back centuries in Mexican cuisine, and it's a popular way to preserve and enhance the flavor of these peppers.
Appearance: Serrano pepper plants are relatively small, typically reaching heights of 2 to 4 feet (60 to 120 centimeters). The peppers themselves are usually 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 centimeters) long, slender, and about 0.5 inches (1.3 centimeters) wide.
Heat: Serrano peppers have a moderate level of heat. They typically range from 8,000 to 23,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHUs). This places them hotter than a jalapeño but milder than habanero peppers.
Flavor: Our Grade A Green Serrano peppers offer a bright, crisp, and slightly fruity flavor with a moderate to hot spiciness. When fermented into a mash or puree, they develop complex umami and tangy notes, making them a versatile Ingredient in various cuisines.

Our Green Serrano Chili Pepper Mash and Puree has a moderate to hot heat at 8K to 23K SHUs so other than the tasty flavor why eat it?
Like most chili peppers, in certain amounts the heat sensation can be quite pleasing and causes the release of endorphins in the brain, which make you feel pleasure. Studies suggest that Capsaicin may have certain health benefits, such as pain relief, improved digestion, and potential metabolism-boosting effects. Eat with caution but enjoy the complex flavor provided by Magic Plant Farms' Green Serrano Chili Mash and/or Puree. Use our premium quality chili pepper products once and you’ll be hooked forever! This pepper is perfect for a specific aromatic kick in stews, sauces, soups, and salsas. For the brave of heart, just add more directly on top!
Dilute the heat: If you're not used to eating or working with such hot peppers, you can dilute the heat by mixing our dry pepper products or mashes and purees with our milder peppers like our Low Heat Dried Peppers (Chipotle Morita) or our sweet dried peppers (Green Ancho Peppers, Red Cascabel Pepper, Red Poblano Mulato Pepper, Trinidad Pimento (Trini Pemiento), Peppadew Peppers / Sweety Drop Peppers). This will still give you the rich flavor of the Green Serrano without too much heat.
