Serrano chili peppers, known for their bright green to red hues, are native to the mountainous regions of Mexico, particularly the state of Puebla. These peppers have been a part of Mexican cuisine for centuries, valued for their heat and distinctive flavor. The name "serrano" means "from the mountains" in Spanish, reflecting their highland origin. They are hotter than jalapeños but milder than habaneros, with a Scoville heat unit range of 10,000 to 23,000. Serranos are versatile peppers used both fresh and dried (known as "chile seco"), integral to salsas, sauces, and many traditional dishes, reflecting their deep roots in Mesoamerican culinary culture.
