History and growing traditions

Serrano is one of Mexico's familiar hot chile types. It is grown for use in salsas and other savory cooking, while drying or smoking extends its usefulness beyond the fresh harvest. New Mexico State University also describes serrano as a choice for hot salsa. The pepper's Mexican culinary association does not identify the farm where this product was grown.

This product is ground chile, ready to measure into sauces, rubs, and cooked dishes. This history describes the pepper variety, not the verified growing origin of this batch.
