Description	The Serrano is a Mexican kitchen workhorse — hotter than a jalapeño with a bright, crisp, clean heat that doesn't overpower the food. These small, bullet-shaped pods are packed with flavor and used extensively in fresh salsas, pico de gallo, and guacamole. Unlike jalapeños, serranos are typically used without roasting or peeling, letting their fresh, sharp flavor shine. Extremely prolific plants produce dozens of pods all season. An essential variety for Mexican and Tex-Mex cooking.
