A Mexican Chile, the Serrano Chili Pepper when dried is known as Chile Seco. This pepper packs a bit of punch and comes in at about 6-7 on the heat scale (of 1-10 with ten being the hottest). Harvested in Vera Cruz and the central Mexico valleys this smoky chile has a fruity flavor with heavy citrus undertones.
Ground Serrano is most commonly used in salsas and authentic Mexican sauces. In the states it is sometimes used as a substitute for the more popular Chipotle Chile powder for a delightful taste twist. Dried Serrano powder works very well in a sweet and spicy salsa when combined with mango and pineapple.
We also carry a full selection of dried chile powders such as Ancho Powder, Chipotle Powder, New Mexico Chili Powder and Pasilla Chili Powder as well as a growing selection if dried chiles.
