Serrano chiles have a flavor similar to a jalapeño pepper, with a bright, fresh-tasting spice. They have a "delayed fuse," meaning their heat takes a moment to fully kick in after it hits the palate. The level of heat for serranos often depends on their size (smaller often means hotter), color (unripe, green peppers tend to be milder), and the exposure they've had to the sun.
Serrano peppers are perfect for salsas, sauces, relishes, garnishes, making hot sauce
Scoville 10.000-20.000
Note that hot peppers tend to be hotter when they have less water and fertilizer. If they receive plenty of water and fertilizer they may be more mild than expected.

- Try planting pepper plants near tomatoes, parsley, basil, and carrots in your home vegetable garden. Don't plant them near fennel or kohlrabi. Peppers are very colorful when in full fruit and combine well with green herbs, okra, beans and cucumber fences in the garden bed.
