About Serano peppers

Serrano peppers are small, vibrant chili peppers originating from Mexico, celebrated for their crisp, fiery flavor. Typically 1-4 inches long, they pack a medium to high heat level, ranging 10,000-23,000 on the Scoville scale. These peppers are a staple in Mexican and Latin American cuisine, commonly used in salsas, sauces, and marinades. Rich in vitamins A and C, serrano peppers support immune function, skin health, and vision. They are also a source of capsaicin, which may boost metabolism, reduce inflammation, and promote heart health. Low in calories and fat-free, they are a nutritious addition to a balanced diet. However, their heat can be intense for those sensitive to spice and may cause digestive discomfort in some individuals. Best enjoyed fresh or lightly cooked, serrano peppers add a bold kick and nutritional benefits to a variety of dishes.
