Hot Pepper Seeds Serrano Rojo (Red) (Capsicum annuum)

Overview:
Serrano Rojo is a popular Mexican hot pepper variety, prized for its vibrant red color, moderate heat, and rich, fresh flavor. Originating in the mountainous regions of Puebla and Hidalgo, Serrano peppers are a staple in traditional Mexican dishes, particularly salsas and sauces. Their name, meaning “from the mountains,” reflects their hardy nature and cultural importance.

Plant Characteristics:
The Serrano Rojo plant is robust and prolific, growing to a height of 60-120 cm (24-48 inches). It produces slender, elongated fruits that mature from green to a bright, glossy red. Each pepper measures 5-10 cm (2-4 inches) in length and weighs 10-15 grams. With a Scoville rating of 10,000-25,000 units, these peppers offer a balanced heat level suitable for a wide range of culinary applications.

Flavor and Benefits:
Serrano Rojo peppers are known for their crisp texture and fresh, tangy flavor. Their moderate heat and slightly smoky undertone make them ideal for adding depth to salsas, marinades, and hot sauces. Rich in vitamins A, C, and potassium, they contribute to a healthy diet and provide antioxidant benefits.

Cultivation Tips:
Sowing: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Plant seeds 0.5 cm (1/4 inch) deep in a well-draining seed-starting mix.
Transplanting: Transfer seedlings outdoors once the risk of frost has passed and temperatures are consistently above 20°C (68°F). Space plants 45-60 cm (18-24 inches) apart in full sun.
Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but well-drained to prevent waterlogging.
Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer to support healthy growth and abundant fruit production.
Harvesting: Peppers mature in 70-90 days and can be harvested at any stage of ripeness, though their flavor and heat peak when fully red.

Uses:
Serrano Rojo peppers are essential for creating authentic Mexican salsas, hot sauces, and soups. Their bold flavor also enhances marinades, grilled dishes, and pickling recipes. As a versatile kitchen ingredient, they are perfect for adding a fresh, spicy kick to any meal.
