Fresno Chile - Seeds

Fresno Chile - (Capsicum Annuum)

If you love cooking with peppers, the Red Fresno Chile is a must-have. Developed in the 1950s and named after Fresno County, California, this pepper offers a more complex flavor and slightly more heat than its look-alike, the Jalapeño.

Red Fresnos boast a delightful sweet smokiness with a slow-building heat. Their thin walls make them perfect for drying and turning into powders, while their versatility shines in salads, salsas, and bold hot sauces. The peppers start green, transitioning to orange and finally a vibrant red when fully ripe. Measuring 2-3 inches with a slight curve, they’re as beautiful as they are flavorful—a true kitchen essential!

Heat level: 2,500 - 10,000(SHU) Scoville Heat Units – Medium Heat.

Flavor: Sweet, Fruity & Smokey.
