AAA - Green Serrano Pepper Mash

Magic Plant Green Serrano Pepper Mash

The Bright Alternative—Crisp, Versatile Heat with a Fresh, Grassy Finish.

Overview

Our natural Green Serrano packs a reliable and vibrant heat at 10,000 to 23,000 (SHUs). Our serranos provide a sharp, clean burn that is felt more quickly than the slower "creeper" peppers. 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, dry whole pods, and fermented mash are medium-hot (spicy) so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat is bright and biting, so start with a small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Green Serrano is a staple of Mexican and Southeast Asian cuisines, prized for its thinner walls and higher heat compared to a jalapeño. Pleasant Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Green Serrano peppers have a distinctive appearance with a smooth, firm texture and a bright green color. They are often characterized by their slender, elongated shape, giving them a sleek and recognizable appearance in the chili community.

The Experience

Green Serranos are known to be a favorite among those who enjoy a "clean" spice that doesn't overwhelm the palate! 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 chili pepper products once and you’ll be hooked forever! This pepper is perfect in moderate doses for a specific aromatic kick in stews, sauces, soups, and salsas. For those who love a sharp bite, just add more directly on top!

Too Hot?

Dilute the heat: If you're not used to eating medium-hot peppers, you can dilute the heat by mixing our fermented mash 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, vegetal flavor of the Green Serrano without the overwhelming heat.
