Red Fresno Peppers

The Fresno pepper was developed in 1952 and named after the city in California. Red Fresnos are often confused with their cousin, the jalapeño, but are wider at the top and have a more earthy, pungent heat and sweeter flavor. On a heat scale of 1 to 10, red Fresnos are about a 6 or 7.

How to Eat

Chop into soups, salsas, marinades, or any dish that calls for jalapeños or needs a bit of spice and color. The Fresno’s bold flavor also lends itself well to pickling and canning. Always handle peppers with caution—gloves are recommended, especially when cutting. Never touch your eyes, nose, or mouth directly after handling hot peppers.
