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.
