| Variety Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Serrano (Frozen Whole) | Fresh Serrano peppers flash-frozen whole. This preserves the intense, sharp heat and vegetal flavor, allowing the pepper to be used year-round in cooking without loss of pungency. |
| Serrano (Red/Ripe) | The mature, deep-red stage of the Serrano pepper. It is sweeter and generally hotter than the common green Serrano, with a fruity background note. It is the preferred color for making traditional Mexican hot sauces, or for drying. |
| Serrano (Smoked/Dried) | The mature red Serrano pepper that has been smoked and dried. This process intensifies the heat and adds a deep, savory, smoky undertone, often ground into specialty pepper flakes. |
| Serrano (Yellow/Orange) | The intermediate ripening stages of the Serrano, offering a slightly sweeter flavor than the green, but not as developed as the red. These colors are often used for visual appeal in pickled vegetables and salsas. |
