Hidalgo Serrano Peppers originated in the mountainous regions of the Mexican state of Hidalgo. 3,000–17,000 SHU.
Slightly hotter than a jalapeño, its “bright fruity hot flavor lingers in the front of the mouth and makes your taste buds tingle all over,” said one seed producer.
Extremely prolific 3–3½' plants yield dozens of light green fruits that ripen to bright scarlet. The 2½–3 x ½" fruits, as fat as your ring finger but only as long as your pinky, have thin walls, a long seed cavity and classic serrano heat. They are perfect for fresh salsa, pickling and hot sauces.
The word “Serrano” comes from the Spanish word “sierra“, meaning mountain range.
