AAA - Green Serrano Pepper Powder

Magic Plant Green Serrano Pepper Powder

The Sharp, Fresh Kick—Intense Green Flavor with a Versatile Heat.

Overview

Our natural Green Serrano packs a crisp and biting heat, averaging between 10,000 and 23,000 (SHUs). Unlike the heavier "creeper" peppers, the Serrano provides a bright, immediate spark of spice that is respected by chefs worldwide. 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 moderately hot (spicy), so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat is sharper than a Jalapeño, so start with a small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Green Serrano is prized for its thin walls and concentrated spice, resulting in its popular heat level for fresh-tasting dishes. Pleasant Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Green Serrano peppers have a distinctive appearance with a smooth, firm texture and a vibrant forest-green color. They are often characterized by their slender, elongated shape, giving them a classic and recognizable appearance in the chili community.

The Experience

Green Serranos are known to be a favorite among salsa aficionados and gourmet cooks! 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 moderate doses for a specific aromatic kick in stews, sauces, soups, and salsas. For those who enjoy a clean, sharp bite, just add more directly on top!

Too Hot?

Dilute the heat: If you're not used to eating such spicy peppers, you can dilute the heat by mixing our Green Serrano powder 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 green flavor of the Serrano without the overwhelming heat.
