Red Fresno Peppers are shaped very similar to common jalapeno peppers. They are easily mistaken for the red jalapeno, however, if you look and sample closely, you’ll see it typically has wider shoulders and a hotter flavor. They are available in red and green varieties, the red being the sweeter of the two.

On the chile heat scales, Red Fresno Peppers rate a 4-6 out of 10. Red Fresnos are found in a broad range of Latin dishes. They are delicious added to soups, stews and dips or roasted and enjoyed whole with barbecued meats and poultry. Red Fresnos have a hot, sweet flavor and are often also pickled or blended into sauces.

Melissas Red Fresno Pepper are hand-selected for excellent quality. Choose bright colored, glossy peppers that are firm with medium to thick flesh. Avoid soft spots. Refrigerate, unwashed in a plastic bag for up to 5 days.
