The serrano is a small, thin,
chile that is five times hotter than jalapenos. It has a thick flesh that does not dry well, so it is best used fresh. It has an elongated body that is green in color and matures to bright red.
Serrano Peppers
There is no need to peel or seed the serrano pepper . Just cut it into tiny slices or mince it to use for salsas and pico de gallo. The flavor is very crisp and biting, with a delayed heat that remains on your palate.
