Fresh Serrano Chili

The fresh Serrano chili is a small to medium-sized chili pepper known for its bright green color, smooth texture, and a heat level that is spicier than a jalapeño but milder than a habanero. It offers a vibrant, slightly fruity flavor with a crisp, juicy bite.

Notes

When handling fresh Serrano chilies, it's advisable to wear gloves to avoid skin irritation from the capsaicin. Always wash your hands thoroughly after handling.
