Serrano peppers, originating from Mexico, are a vibrant and versatile chili pepper commonly used in Latin American cuisine. Known for their bright green or red color and crisp texture, they pack a spicy punch, ranking between 10,000–23,000 Scoville heat units—hotter than jalapeños. Rich in vitamins A and C, Serrano peppers contribute to immune support, skin health, and eye health. They also contain antioxidants, which help fight inflammation and promote overall wellness. Low in calories and fat, these peppers are a nutritious addition to salsas, sauces, and marinades. However, their high capsaicin content, the compound responsible for their spiciness, may cause irritation for those with sensitive stomachs or digestive conditions if consumed in excess. Whether roasted, fresh, or pickled, Serrano peppers bring heat and flavor while offering valuable nutrients. Their bold taste and health benefits make them a popular choice for culinary enthusiasts.
