Serrano Chiles

Serrano chiles are small and slender-up to 2 inches (5 cm) long and about 1/2 inch (12 mm) wide. These fresh green or red chiles are about as spicy as jalapenos, which are notably sharper and very hot. They are also sold in their ripened red form and pickled in brine. The name translates as "mountain" chili. Category:Glossary
