Purple Serrano

Description

The Purple Serrano is a color variant of the traditional Mexican serrano pepper selected for its striking purple pod color that gradually transitions to red at full maturity producing elongated pods of 5-7 cm with the characteristic smoky pungent heat of a serrano at 10,000-25,000 SHU. Like the standard serrano it has thick crisp flesh and a bright acidic flavor that makes it ideal for fresh salsas pico de gallo and fire-roasted preparations while its distinctive purple color makes it visually appealing as a fresh garnish. A favorite among home gardeners and specialty growers who appreciate both its classic serrano flavor and its decorative garden presence.
