Nutritional Benefits

Serrano chiles are naturally fat-free, low in calories, and gluten-free. They provide vitamins A and C, antioxidant plant compounds, and the natural capsaicin behind their heat. A vibrant, plant-based, vegan-friendly way to add fresh, grassy spice without added sodium or fat.

How to Use

Wipe the chiles clean and remove stems; leave seeds in for more heat. Toast briefly on a dry comal until fragrant, then soak in hot water for 10–15 minutes until pliable and blend into salsas and sauces. For a sharper, fresher flavor, grind toasted chiles into powder or crush into stews and broths.
