Red Serrano Pepper Mash 9 oz.

Magic Plant Red Serrano Pepper Mash

The Culinary Essential—Sharp, Crisp Heat with a Savory Fermented Depth.

Overview

Our natural Red Serrano packs a spirited heat at 10,000 to 23,000 (SHUs). Our serranos deliver a bright, immediate bite that is more intense than a jalapeño but remains highly versatile. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex savory and crisp flavor! Our Red Serrano ground pepper, crushed flakes, dry whole pods, and fermented mash are notably hot (spicy) so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat is sharp and punchy, so start with a small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Red Serrano is the fully ripened version of the green serrano, resulting in a more developed flavor and a slightly more refined heat level. Vibrant Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Red Serrano peppers have a distinctive appearance with a smooth, firm texture and a brilliant red color. They are often characterized by their slender, elongated shape, giving them a sleek and recognizable appearance in the chili community.

The Experience

Red Serranos are known to be the go-to pepper for authentic salsas and hot sauces! 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 a bold, fresh bite, 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 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 crisp, savory flavor of the Red Serrano without the overwhelming heat.
