Serrano is a classic heirloom pepper variety prized for its crisp, thin-walled fruits and lively heat. Plants bear abundant 4–6 cm pods that ripen from green to vibrant red, offering fresh snacking, salsas, sauces, and pickles with a sharp, clean bite.
Thriving in Pakistan’s warm climate, Serrano peppers mature in 75–85 days from transplant, rewarding gardeners with a steady harvest through the season.
