DescriptionThe Fresno is a California-born pepper that has become a darling of the craft hot sauce movement. Compared to jalapeños, Fresnos have thinner walls, a fruitier flavor, and slightly more heat that develops as they ripen from green to orange to a vibrant red.

Excellent for hot sauces (including sriracha-style), fresh salsas, pickling, and topping everything from pizza to ramen. Best harvested at the red stage for maximum flavor and heat. A versatile kitchen staple.
