Serrano Peppers
The serrano is a prolific variety, producing cone- or club-shaped fruits. The plant grows up to three feet in height and has distinctive short fuzzy leaves. Its erect finger-sized chilies grow in clusters, are fully mature at 75 to 90 days and have quite a heat range from 7,000 to 25,000 Scoville Units. These \"all-purpose\" hot peppers are perfect for hot sauces, great for pickling, wonderful for flavoring guacamole and chili, and they freeze well. They are the hottest pepper commonly available in the United States
Suerte!
