Serrano Pepper Seeds are easy to grow and the plants are very productive. People love Serranos for their distinct flavor profile, featuring a bright, grassy taste and a significant but not overwhelming heat. Serrano peppers are a step up from most jalapeños in heat but milder than peppers like habaneros. They are typically eaten raw, and are added to pico-de-gallo and other salsas and chile recipes. Serranos are often used when unripe and green, which have a brighter, more grassy flavor, while fully ripe red serranos are hotter, and have a sweeter, fruitier, and more complex flavor.
