Serrano Tampiqueno Pepper Plant

10,000-25,000 SHU.

An iconic chili hailing from the mountains of the Hidalgo and Puebla states of Mexico. Second only to jalapeño in popularity, serrano does have similar characteristics, except that the serrano averages 2-3 times hotter than jalapeños and is typically a bit thinner and shorter (approximately 1/2 inch thick and 3-4 inches long). This ubiquitous chili is easy to grow and prolific.
