Why Capsicum Serrano is Perfect for Your Garden:

Imagine the satisfaction of picking your own fresh chillies, knowing you’ve nurtured them from seed to fruit! 🌱
-
Bright, Citrusy Flavour: Serrano chillies are renowned for their crisp, bright flavour with a delightful citrusy undertone. This makes them perfect for salsas, hot sauces, and a wide range of spicy dishes. Whether you’re spicing up a homemade salsa or adding a fiery touch to your favourite recipes, these chillies will make every meal more exciting. 🍽️
-
Manageable Heat: With a Scoville rating of 10,000 to 23,000 units, Serrano peppers offer a heat level similar to cayenne—enough to add a fiery kick without overwhelming your taste buds. This balanced heat allows you to enjoy the full spectrum of the chilli’s flavour, making your dishes as enjoyable as they are spicy. 🌶️
