The Versatile Green Heat—Sharp Biting Spice with a Fresh, Grassy Finish.

Overview

Our natural Green Serrano packs a respectable heat at 10,000 to 25,000 (SHUs). Our serranos have a quick, upfront bite that hits faster than the "creeper" varieties. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex fresh and grassy flavor! Our Green Serrano ground pepper, crushed flakes and dry whole pods are medium-hot (spicy) so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat is bright and sharp, so start with a very small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Green Serrano is a classic of Mexican and Southwestern cuisine, resulting in its popular and versatile heat level. Pleasant Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Green Serrano peppers have a distinctive appearance with a smooth, firm texture and a vibrant green color. They are often characterized by their slender, cylindrical shape, giving them a sleek and recognizable appearance in the chili community.

The Experience

Green Serranos are known to be a kitchen staple for those who want more kick than a jalapeño! So why eat it? Like most chili peppers, in certain amounts the sensation can be quite pleasing and causes the release of endorphins in the brain, which make you feel pleasure. Studies suggest that Capsaicin may have certain health benefits, such as pain relief, improved digestion, and potential metabolism-boosting effects. Eat with caution but enjoy the complex flavor provided by Magic Plant Farms' serranos. Use our premium quality dry chili pepper products once and you’ll be hooked forever! This pepper is perfect in small doses for a specific aromatic kick in stews, sauces, soups, and salsas. For those who love a clean, sharp burn, just add more directly on top!

Too Hot?

Dilute the heat: If you're not used to eating such hot peppers, you can dilute the heat by mixing our dry flakes or ground Green Serrano peppers with our milder peppers like our Low Heat Dried Peppers (Chipotle Morita) or our sweet dried peppers (Green Ancho Peppers, Red Cascabel Pepper, Red Poblano Mulato Pepper, Trinidad Pimento (Trini Pemiento), Peppadew Peppers / Sweety Drop Peppers). This will still give you the fresh grassy flavor of the Green Serrano without the overwhelming heat.
