Serrano peppers are small, vibrant chili peppers native to Mexico, commonly used in Mexican and Southwestern cuisines. They pack a bold, intense heat that ranges between 10,000 to 23,000 on the Scoville scale, making them spicier than jalapeños. Rich in vitamins A and C, Serranos contribute to immune health and collagen production while also providing antioxidants that help combat inflammation. They are low in calories and contain dietary fiber, supporting digestion and weight management. Serrano peppers also promote metabolism due to the presence of capsaicin, the compound responsible for their heat. However, their spiciness may irritate sensitive stomachs or trigger gastrointestinal issues in some individuals. Popular in salsas, marinades, and sauces, Serrano peppers are a versatile and flavorful way to add heat and healthful nutrients to your meals. Always handle with care to avoid any skin or eye irritation due to their potent spice level.
