Serrano peppers are vibrant, medium-sized chili peppers originating from the mountainous regions of Mexico. Known for their fiery heat, they range between 10,000 to 25,000 Scoville Heat Units, making them spicier than jalapeños. These peppers are a staple in Mexican cuisine, commonly used in salsas, sauces, and marinades due to their bright, tangy flavor and crisp texture. Serrano peppers are rich in vitamins A and C, which support immune health and skin, and they contain capsaicin, a compound linked to pain relief and metabolism boosting. They are low in calories and free of fat, making them a healthy addition to meals. However, their high spiciness may irritate the stomach or digestive system in individuals sensitive to spicy foods. Serrano peppers are best enjoyed fresh or lightly roasted to intensify their natural flavor.
