Fresno Chili Pepper

SKU: PEP56
/

The Fresno chili pepper is a vibrant, medium-heat pepper known for its bright red color and versatile flavor. Maturing in about 70-80 days, these peppers start green and ripen to a brilliant red, with a heat level similar to jalapeños. Fresno chilis have a slightly sweeter and fruitier taste when fully ripe, making them perfect for salsas, sauces, and fresh use in salads. The plants are prolific and thrive in full sun with well-drained soil. Popular in both culinary and garden settings, Fresno chili peppers add a spicy kick and vibrant color to a variety of dishes.  2,500 to 10,000 Scoville Heat Units.

Eager to Try

I bought this based on Luke's recommendation as a great pepper - spicy and sweet. I have not planted it or tried it yet. I saw it was available on a big MIGardener sale, so I bought it with plans to plant it next year.

Very Flavorful Hot Pepper

I've used this pepper in some of my dishes, such as sauces and salsas. I usually buy them, but they can be hard to find. They are similar to jalapenos, but there are flavor differences. Where jalapenos remind me of spicy bell peppers, the Fresno chili has fruity and smoky notes the jalapenos don't have even when ripe. MIGardener is my go-to seed shop because I know I'm getting high germination rates and excellent customer service. Offering free shipping on purchases over $19.99 on seeds is also a nice bonus.
