Serrano chillies are a classic of Mexican cuisine and, combined with tomatoes they form the basis for the famous Mexican salsa Pico de Gallo. The name Serrano indicates that it originates in Mexico`s high plains. The plants remain relatively small and develop a bushy crown on a strong little trunk.
In Mexico, the plant`s country of origin, the peppers are harvested when green, but continue to ripen relatively quickly after harvesting. Once in their fully ripened state, they develop a pleasant sweetness together with a medium-strength spicy heat. This makes them fantastic for eating raw to spice up salads and salsas, but they can also be cooked, pickled or frozen.
