Uses

Fresno Chiles are shaped very similar to common jalapeno chiles. They are available in red and green varieties, the red being the sweeter of the two. The Red Fresno Chile is 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. On the chile heat scales, it rates 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.

Selection, Storage & Handling

Melissa’s Red Fresno Chiles 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.
