The Serrano Tampiqueño is a cherished Mexican chilli variety, renowned for its vibrant flavour and moderate heat. Measuring approximately 2 inches in length, these slender, glossy peppers mature from green to red, offering a Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) range of 8,000 to 25,000. Their crisp texture and bright, biting flavour make them ideal for fresh salsas, sauces, and pickling. This Capsicum annuum species thrives in warm climates, with plants reaching up to 3 feet in height and producing abundant fruit approximately 75 days after transplanting. Originating from the mountainous regions of Mexico, the Serrano Tampiqueño is a staple in traditional dishes, especially in salsas like Pico de Gallo. Some argue that this variety tastes even better than the Serrano!

100% germinations rate, 2 weeks in and all are growing strong, these were the first to germinate! 7 seedlings are tall and strong, 3 have slightly withered cotyledons, and 2 are very stunted. I only need 6 for my greenhouse so will be taking the strongest. (received 12 rather than 10). I’m looking forward to using these in my cooking.
