Hidalgo Serrano

Description

(75 days) Open-pollinated. Slightly hotter than a jalapeño, its “bright, fruity hot flavor lingers in the front of the mouth and makes your taste buds tingle all over,” said one seed producer. Extremely prolific 3–3½’ plants yield dozens of light green fruits that ripen to bright scarlet. The 2½–3 x ½” fruits, as fat as your ring finger but only as long as your pinky, have thin walls, a long seed cavity and classic serrano heat. They are perfect for fresh salsa and pickling or homemade hot sauces. 2,000–17,000 Scovilles
